Assessments can be added in any order into palCentre. Once an assessment is added, palCentre will check the date against all other assessment dates and then order all assessments by date. If you miss adding an assessment by accident, add the assessment into the data entry section on the left hand side of the screen and palCentre will place it in the correct order. |
The clinical assessments are assessed daily for inpatient or at each community patient contact. They are reported at admission, when the phase changes and at discharge. When entering phase level information, you only need to add assessments into palCentre on admission, where the phase changes and when the patient is discharged. To demonstrate how to enter assessment level data, the following instructions will use this form to show how to enter assessment level information:

The form above shows four columns have been completed by the clinical team, reflecting clinical assessments made each day of admission.

If a patient is discharged from your service, it is important to include the final assessment on the clinical form. This will ensure you have minimal items on your data quality report and ensures that your assessment information is as complete as possible. If a patient dies with your service, no final assessment is required. |
