Include vaccine suitability notes during patient screening

We've received a lot of user feedback around the importance of being able to include suitability notes when screening a patient.

This is an optional text box, you do not have to enter any information here. The suitability notes text box has a limit of 300 characters. This limit is to ensure the notes are short and succinct.

The suitability notes box is available after selecting either 'Patient is suitable' or 'Patient is NOT suitable'. You do not have to enter any information in this text box.

Optional suitability notes are available after selecting 'Patient is suitable'.

Optional suitability notes are available after selecting 'Patient is NOT suitable'.

Vaccinations can now be recorded after the vaccination episode

Designed as a point of care tool it wasn't possible to record a vaccination after the event. Extensive feedback from users indicated that this caused issues. Functionality to record vaccination episodes completed at an earlier time is now available.

Users with the role of Records Manager or Vaccinator can now add a vaccination record after the event. Start by selecting ‘Record Retrospective Vaccination' from the homepage tile.

This functionality allows the user to record the details of the person who performed each step of the vaccination episode. At each step of the form, you will be asked to select the person that:

• registered the patient
• screened the patient
• vaccinated the patient

Improved control for deletion of vaccination episodes

Where a patient is registered, they can already be removed from the ‘Clinic List’. Now you can also delete a patient record when they have different statuses. 

Vaccinators
Vaccinators who completed the screening or vaccination steps can delete a vaccination episode with any of these statuses: 

• Screening Incomplete (Draft)  
• Screened 
• Vaccination Incomplete (Draft)  
• Completed 
• Completed vaccinations can be deleted for 60minutes after the vaccination has been completed

Records Manager
Records Managers can delete a vaccination episode recorded at clinics within their Health Board. Vaccination episodes can be deleted with the following statuses: 

• Screening Incomplete (Draft)  
• Screened 
• Vaccination Incomplete (Draft)  
• Completed 
• Completed vaccinations can be deleted if the completed date is less than 26 weeks since the vaccination was completed

Where the above criteria are met the ‘Delete vaccination’ option is available to the user from the ‘Actions’ drop-down list on either the Clinic List or Patient Details Screen. 

When the ‘Delete vaccination’ option is selected a page outlining the patient, registration, screening and vaccination information is displayed. You must provide an explanation for deleting the record in the ‘Deletion Reason’ text box. 

To complete the delete vaccination step the user must click the ‘Delete Vaccination’ button. You will then be asked to confirm you want to delete the vaccination. 

Records that are deleted will be shown in the ‘Patient Details’ page with a status of ‘Entered in Error’. By selecting ‘Actions’ then ‘View’ the user can see who deleted the record and they reason the record was deleted.
