- Example Business Requirements around Recalls (your organisation's may differ):
- The user needs to be able to record that a recall is required on a certain date.
- The user needs to be able to run a report giving all recalls due within a time period.
- The user needs to be able to record that they have contacted, or attempted to contact the patient.
- The user needs to record the outcome of the contact.
- The user needs to be able to close off the recall when:
- The patient has been contacted and an appointment has been booked
- The patient has been contacted and the patient has refused a further appointment
- All reasonable measures have been taken to contact the patient but they have been unsuccessful
Workflow in CareRight to achieve the requirements above:
A: Create a new recall for a patient:
- Add the Recalls assessment to a patient - Assessment > New > Recalls > Perform.
- The assessment needs to be Saved but not approved - effectively kept "open."
- Only once all action has been completed should the assessment be Approved.
B: Check for all Recalls for a time period, contact patients and record outcomes:
- Run the "Recalls - Active" report for a time period
- Use this report to generate a list of patients requiring a recall
- To Run: Click Reports > "Recall Report - Active" LOAD
- You must enter dates into the filters below or you will get a error:
- Recall Date is on or after = dd/mm/yyyy e.g. 01/12/2017
- Recall Date is on or before = dd/mm/yyyy e.g. 14/12/2017
- Unapproved and Unarchived assessments appear in the report -these are considered active
- Print the Report or work from the PDF (different export formats are available - contact your system administrator to discuss)
- Contact the patient(s)
- For each patient on the list, open CareRight in a new tab and search for the patient by MRN
- Click Show and in their Patient record Click Assessments > Recalls assessment - Continue
- Add the call details - when Call 1 details are filled in, Call 2 details will appear, and then Call 3 details
- If you have called and left a message, you can optionally add an Notice called Recall to the patient record with details for other users to see
- If further action is required - Save and continue to keep the recall open
- If no further action require and the recall can be closed:
- Select a Status from the pick list
- Fill in any additional fields
- Click Approve
- Repeat 1-7 until you mark the recall as closed or successful
