Tip

If an item has not been recorded on the form, use the 'Not Assessed' code in the drop down menu. This will ensure you have minimal items appearing on your data quality report.

Tip

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.

Info

The form above shows four columns have been completed by the clinical team, reflecting clinical assessments made each day of admission. However, to To capture the information for these four columns in when entering phase level assessments, you only need to create/enter records for admission, phase change and discharge. As a resultsuch, you only need to enter the following 3 records.

  1. A record with:
    The information in the first column i.e. Phase = 2 (unstable) and date of 11/02/2018. 

  2. A record with:
    The information from the third column i.e. Phase= 1 (stable) and date of 13/02/2018.
    NOTE: we have skipped the second column of data as the phase is unchanged (i.e. still 2 - unstable). A new record only needs to be entered when the phase changes

  3. A record with:
    The information from the fourth column i.e. Phase = 1 (stable) and a date of 14/02/2018.
    NOTE: This assessment must be included as it is the discharge assessment regardless of whether the phase has changed or not.
Note

If a patient is discharged from your service, it is important to enter the final assessment into palCentre. 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.
