When working with EMIS Web in managing child protection warnings, it is crucial to understand the correct clinical codes used for implementation and removal of these alerts. Clinical codes are short alphanumeric codes associated with specific clinical concepts.
Adding Child Protection Warnings
To add a child protection warning, you must use a safeguarding child protection clinical code. For instance, when a child is placed on a protection register, add the code 13IM or its SNOMED CT equivalent 160887007. Upon adding this code, EMIS Web automatically displays a warning in the patient précis and expanded patient précis.
Removing Child Protection Warnings
If a child protection warning is no longer applicable, it is necessary to add a removal clinical code. For instance, if a child is removed from the protection register, use the code 13IO or its SNOMED CT equivalent 160889005. Reload the patient's record to activate the changes. This process is crucial to ensure that the patient's record accurately reflects their current safeguarding status.
