The system is an “EPISODE OF CARE” (EOC) based Clinical Management Module tracking all activity for a patient in respect of various health issues/diagnoses. It provides for: –

• The entry of patient health issue names or diagnoses.

• EOC specific :
• Case notes.
• Scripting based on the MIMs database. RX photo
• Pathology requests and downloaded results.
• Imaging request and downloadable results.
• Obstetric recording of past pregnancies, new pregnancies, ante natal visits and obstetric outcomes.
• Dynamic building of consultation ‘progress’ activity during consult. Including the addition of data
  • · patient past history
  • · allergies, coded and non-coded
  • · social factors
  • · family history
  • · Allergies
  • · New recalls
  • · Existing recall follow-up and consultation
  • · Patient measurements for weight, height, renal, respiratory, diabetes, urine, temperature, pulse etc
  • · Graphing of measurement results over time
• Imports from MDW where required:
  • · Past progress notes.
  • · Current medications list.
  • · Past history.
  • · Allergy list.
  • · Social factors.
  • · Family history.
  • · Vaccinations.
  • · Existing and previous Recalls.
  • · Patient Measurement data – including height, weight, BMI, BP etc.
  • · All scanned documents and existing letters.
• Features worth further note
• ‘Overview’ and ‘Details’ views of the patient clinical record to allow fast access and updating of any existing data.
• The ability to add multiple EOC’s to the same consultation.
• The capacity to tag consultation activities to be relevant to one or more of the specific EOC’s in any session. (eg one script might be intended to relieve pain in two separate conditions or one path request may be relevant to more than one patient condition)
• An ‘Alerts’ system which caters for ‘general’ warnings as well as smoking status, alcohol use, sexuality, elite sports status, aboriginality and is integrated with an ‘Alerts’ screen. The Alert screen may be activated as a “pop-up” to provide practitioner with this information as well as any allergies, current problems and any imminent or overdue recall action required and any ‘pending’ pathology results which have been received back but have not yet been processed and filed with the patient record.

• A ‘Recall’ system that not only tracks recall but also track whether the patient has been seen in respect of the recall.
• An ‘Encounter’ view which enables practitioners to look at past interaction with patients on the basis of the past ‘consultation s’ rather that past ‘episodes of care’ (ie date based view instead of diagnosis view).
• Pathology and Imaging download capability and processing capability with enhanced follow-up checking which does not allow an 'abnormal' or 'not marked' result to be filed without further action being specified.
• Access to the full MIMs drug ‘Details’ and ‘Full PI’ in approx 1 second.
• The ability to search the MIMs by classification.
• Patient measurements entry, metric calculator, dose calculator, gestational calculator
• The capacity to create ‘pathology favourites’, and groups of pathology ‘favourite requests’.
• The capacity to tag pathology groups as ‘obstetric type’ and to have access to these from within the obstetrics module.
• The ability of the obstetrics module to search for and find the received results of path investigations of ‘obstetric’ type.
• An integrated word processing system which can support practice specific templates, with data merge, of ‘patient’, ‘referral’,’ investigation’ or ‘other doctor’ types.
• The auto naming and authoring of practitioner produced documents from within the consulting system.
• An integrated Document Management system which allows for the scanning of images or the importing of other documents types to the patient record and the search and retrieval of any previously import document.
• A ‘document list’ which details and allows access to documents associated with an individual patient.
• The ability to print patient heath summaries and case notes.
• The ability to print detailed reports based on individual Episodes of Care or based on particular patient consultations as required.
