Info
Examples
Some patients require categories of ancillary care, such as Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, or Social Work.
Often, there are several items within these categories that have to be finished successfully before the patient's ancillary care is considered complete.
For example:
Within the Physiotherapy category, the patient might be ordered to successfully complete neurological rehabilitation, orthopedic rehabilitation, and respiratory rehabilitation.
Tracking and Functionality
In the Patient Tracking Portal application, the progress of a patient's ancillary care can be tracked. A care progression group can be added to a list view as a column.
Ward/Unit staff can use the column to access a dialog box where they can indicate whether each care type within a care progression group has been ordered, is in progress, is delayed (and the reason for the delay), or has been completed. This information is visible on the list view for other ward/Unit staff members.
A care progression group is considered complete for a patient after that patient has finished all their ordered care types within that group.
The administrator might have configured care types, so that they must be completed in a certain order.
In addition, the administrator can configure care type statuses so that they must be selected in a certain order
For example:
The In-Progress status cannot be selected unless the Ordered status has been selected first.)
The administrator configures the care progression groups and care types in the Admin Tool - care progression group or Admin > Settings > Capacity Management component.
