Assessments
A feature within the Concordia application that provides the ability to collect patient specific information, the outcome of which may influence multiple elements of a care pathway.
The assessment process covers the collection, analysis, and dissemination of information on the health status, personal health problems and concerns of individual patients/clients. It has the primary objective of informing care providers on the health status of a patient with the aim of assisting in planning the patients care and in resource planning.
Care Plans
A written plan of care developed for, and agreed to by a patient or their representative stating the interventions to be undertaken, the health outcomes to be achieved, and the review of care which will occur at regular intervals.
Concordia’s current care plan module makes provision for planning care along the hierarchical 3-level dimensions of:
- Problem/focus areas;
- Goals to be achieved in relations to these focus areas; and,
- The specific interventions to be undertaken towards achieving these goals.
In support of these dimensions, Concordia provides the means to assign interventions to staff members and have these automatically displayed in the appropriate person’s mailbox.
Clinical Notes
A Clinical Note/Document records all aspects of progress in relation to the care provided to a patient towards achieving their care goals. Concordia provides the ability to document various types of Clinical Notes containing structured and unstructured data.
One of the key capabilities provided by the Concordia clinical notes module is the ability to automatically generate MS Word documents, publish these to SharePoint Portal Server and subject these to the workflow and digital rights management capability provided by SharePoint.
Medication Administration
Concordia provides users with the means to select patient medications from a list of products that have been recorded for a patient, either through the patient medication or referral functionality.
To reduce the risk of medication administration errors, the list of medications that a user is able to select from is restricted to the products specifically recorded for the patient, as apposed to the entire drug lists. In addition to this, Concordia also maintains a detailed history of all past medications administered to a patient.
Alerts
Alerts are the means whereby users are able to document any aspect relating to the patient that has to be brought to the attention of all care providers involved in the care of a patient.
Concordia provides the means to categorize alerts by a range of extendable categories such as specific drug allergies.
