Home visit case sheet
Who: the nurse sent on the visit; doctors and nurses with home-care access.
Where: menu → Home visits.
Every home visit has its own case sheet, like a clinic visit. Notes written there belong to that visit and appear in the patient's record.
Write and sign a note
- Open Home visits and find the patient's row for the day.
- Select Case sheet. The visit's case sheet opens beside the round.
- Select New note and choose the note type: nursing note, progress note, dietitian note or physiotherapy note. A clinic consultation is not offered on a home visit.
- Write the note. It saves itself as a draft; Draft saved shows when it has.
- Select Sign. The note now carries your name and the time.
See past home notes
Open Home healthcare and choose the patient. Their notes from every visit, clinic and home, are listed together; home visits are labelled Home visit.
When something goes wrong
- The visit's case sheet does not open. Only the nurse sent on the visit, and staff with access to the patient, can open it. Ask whoever schedules the round to assign you to the visit.
- No Home visits menu. Your role does not have home-care access; ask your hospital administrator.
