!!! warning | ||
This section is a work in progress. | ||
EMIS support is currently under development. | ||
Research access to the backend provided by EMIS is temporarily unavailable, | ||
pending funding arrangements between NHS England and EMIS. | ||
When funding has been secured, | ||
we will publish a timeline for gradually reopening access. | ||
|
||
## OpenSAFELY-EMIS database builds | ||
|
||
At present, EMIS support is enabled for some, but not all, users. | ||
This is because not all study definitions can run against the EMIS backend. | ||
There is a [document with more explanation about running studies in EMIS](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KeToM9gjIKDSyNh_H4M6TWU_xv5yHrkko2bwgOrFsac/edit) (internal only). | ||
|
||
When EMIS receive data from external data sources (eg ONS), records are appended to the | ||
relevant tables, not updated. The relevant tables have an `upload_date` column, and to get the latest data, we have to query for on `upload_date`. |
