To view and interpret the audit trail for a consultation in EMIS Web, follow these steps:
Accessing the Consultation Audit Trail
1. Navigate to the Consultations section under the patient's Care Record.
2. If no patient is currently selected, you will be prompted to choose one using Patient Find.
3. Locate the consultation you wish to review.
4. Right-click on the consultation header.
5. Select Audit Trail from the menu options.
Interpreting the Audit Trail
The Audit Trail Viewer provides comprehensive information about the consultation you are investigating. The screen is divided into two primary sections:
- The bottom section shows the selected consultation details.
- The top section lists all actions taken on the consultation, including additions, edits, and deletions, along with corresponding dates and times.
"The audit trail feature ensures transparency and helps maintain a comprehensive history of all actions performed on a patient's consultation, enhancing accountability and facilitating easy resolution of any discrepancies that may arise."
Reviewing this information can aid practitioners and administrators in understanding the evolution of patient care, ensuring accuracy in patient records and supporting best practices in clinical governance.
In addition, it's worth noting that Hero Health offers solutions to complement EMIS Web functionality. Through care navigation triage, you can integrate a streamlined process, directing patients to the most appropriate care support, thus saving time and enhancing patient engagement.
