Study Notes
ePCR Overview
- Electronic Patient Care Record streamlines documentation of patient care.
- Paper Patient Report Form (PRF) serves as a medical and legal record.
Importance of PRF
- Complete all sections on the PRF, ensuring accuracy.
- White copy is given to Healthcare Professional (HCP) during handover.
- PRF must be submitted with LA1 at the end of each shift.
Medical Model Documentation
- Document history and assessment findings systematically.
- Key categories include:
- HPC (History of Presenting Complaint)
- PMH (Past Medical History)
- PSH (Past Surgical History)
- FHX (Family History)
- SHX (Social History)
- DHx (Drug History)
- Birth History
- IMP (Impression)
- Plan
- Both positive and negative findings are critical for comprehensive evaluation.
Documentation Standards
- Maintain legibility; errors should be corrected with a single neat line.
- Accurate assessment and documentation confirm the patient's well-being.
Abbreviation Guidelines
- Utilize standard, accepted abbreviations for clarity.
- Avoid vague or humorous abbreviations to maintain professionalism.
ePCR App Usage
- All entries in ePCR must be contemporaneous.
- Avoid pre-written or copied information; each record must reflect the actual patient encounter.
- No accidental deletions are possible in the app, reinforcing data integrity.
Personal Demographic Service (PDS)
- Patient details must include name, date of birth (DoB), and postcode.
- Utilize PDS for healthcare planning, DNACPR (Do Not Attempt Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation), and patient information tracking.
Scenario-based Training
- Participants will engage in medical and trauma scenarios to practice ePCR completion.
- Additional questions regarding ePCR can be addressed post-scenario.
Continuous Quality Improvement (CPI) and Auditing
- CPIs support improvement in patient care quality.
- Areas of focus for audit include:
- Cardiac arrest management
- Sepsis protocols
- Non-conveyed incidents
- Mental health assessments
- Sickle cell issues
Questions and Clarifications
- Encouragement to ask questions for clarity regarding ePCR usage and protocols.
