Help for the above Column in the Ward Patient List
Patients who have been previously recorded within the Trust with a permanent type of diabetes, will have an alert automatically shown on the eWhiteboard:
This information has been taken from a one-off snapshot of PatientCentre (PAS) coding data.
BLANK = No diabetes information recorded for the patient.
To update the Diab column, click in the cell of the patient you would like to update and the Diabetes dialogue box will be displayed:
Registered Clinicians should confirm the diagnosis is correct. Where necessary they can update an incorrect status then click on to update the eWhiteboard:
If a patient’s status is changed to No through the eWhiteboard, then this will be retained for 7 days following the patient’s discharge and will display as No if re-admitted within that time. If they are re-admitted further to those 7 days, the eWhiteboard will show a blank status (as above).
If a patient’s status is updated to Yes through the eWhiteboard, then this will be retained permanently in PPM+ from one admission to another, unless this is reset to No .
