If this is the first time you are entering data into palCentre, PCOC recommends you watch this video on entering assessment information.
Profile collection overview
The profile data collection reflects a single point of assessment occurring in any setting at any time, depending on the data collection protocol. The intent of the collection is to provide a comprehensive profile of patients with identified palliative care needs in situations where the outcome collection is neither suitable nor possible.
| Note |
|---|
The profile data collection is separate from the outcome data collection. A single patient can have both outcome collection data and profile instances. However, profile instances should not occur while a patient has an open episode in the outcome data collection. If you need more information on the type of data you are entering please contact PCOC. |
