ED workflow and information system

This section helps users to understand the Nervecentre workflow and information system for ED. It describes how to use the standard product. What you see depends on your organisation.

Your hospital might use Nervecentre for recording vital signs observations, carrying out patient assessments, sepsis screening, prescribing, order comms, and many other activities which are part of the Nervecentre Electronic Patient Record (EPR) product. These are only referenced in passing within this guide; please refer to other documentation for more information about the capabilities and use of these features.

You can use Nervecentre to manage the whole ED process, both the clinical side and the administrative side. Some trusts or organisations choose to use their existing systems alongside Nervecentre for some aspects of the process. It is essential that you understand, from your local training team, the way you are expected to use Nervecentre. Your system configuration prevents you from accidentally using features of Nervecentre which your organisation does not wish to use.
