To effectively review and audit cross-organisation patient warnings in EMIS Web, follow these detailed steps:
Reviewing Cross-Organisation Patient Warnings
Begin by using Patient Find to select the patient whose warnings you need to review. Once selected, the patient's details will appear on the patient précis, which includes both local and shared warnings from other organisations. These can immensely support coordinated care and improve patient safety across various healthcare providers.
To explore the warnings further, expand the patient précis and navigate to the Patient Warnings section. Click on Manage to access the Manage Patient Warnings screen, where you can see all warnings pertinent to that patient. Shared warnings from other organisations are typically greyed out to prevent unauthorised editing.
Auditing Changes
Every time a cross-organisation patient warning is added, edited, or removed, it is recorded in the Audit Trail. These records include amendments in warning texts and any changes concerning whether a warning is shared across organisations.
To access the audit trail, go to System Tools and select Audit Trails. Use filters such as date and user permissions to streamline your records, focusing solely on patient warnings for precise auditing.
Audit trails are invaluable for maintaining transparency and accountability, helping ensure that patient safety measures are correctly adhered to.
Best Practices for Management
When managing cross-organisation warnings, always review local warnings individually before activating them for sharing through the Care Record agreements. This ensures that only relevant and updated warnings are shared, mitigating risks of miscommunication.
