When sending in data use csv format i.e. send one record per line with each element delimited by a single ‘,’ as follows:

1213,1,99999,CA,UROL,52,2,10,0,10,5,2,1,5

1213,1,99999,CA,MED1,30,4,20,2,2,1,12,1,1

As per csv conventions any field containingpunctuation characters, including spaces, should be enclosed in double quotes. This will only apply to the Clinic Identifier.

Make sure you provide the correct agency identifier for each record.

Key points to remember:

  • Each field is to be delimited by a single comma i.e. ‘,’
  • All fields sent must have a value.
  • A separate file must be sent for each period.
