Transferring testing location and change a Patient registered practice
Why would a patient be transferred from one practice to another?
You may wish to transfer a patients record across to another site because the patient has changed their Testing Location or Registered Practice. This could be a result of a patient moving address, receiving complex treatment at a hospital that started at a practice or continuing treatment at a practice stabilised at a hospital.
How?
Each patient within INRstar will have a Testing Location and Registered Practice. These can be viewed and edited in the patient’s record to transfer the patient.
Step-by-step instructions for different scenarios are below.
Testing Location & Registered Practice Explained
Testing Location: This is the practice or service that tests/treats the patient. It is possible to change the testing locations if for example a patient is moving out of the area and will be treated elsewhere. The treatment location has full visibility of the patient’s record, including treatment history, can edit demographics, add treatments and adverse events. Only the testing location can edit the patient’s treatment plan or add a new treatment plan.
Registered Practice: This is the registered GP practice of the patient. This will be the same as the Testing Location if the patient if treated by their registered GP. If the patient has their anti-coagulation monitored elsewhere, a warning is shown on the patient’s record. The registered practice have full visibility of the patient’s record, including treatment history, can edit demographics, add treatments and adverse events. If the registered practice are not also the testing location they cannot edit the patient’s treatment plan or add a new treatment plan.
A warning is shown next to any treatment that was performed elsewhere.
