Viewing information about investigations on your home page dashboard

On Nervecentre for desktop your home page includes a dashboard, which you can fully customise by adding summaries. Each summary lists information. That information about investigations appears in consultant and ward summaries. You can add multiple summaries for different consultants or wards.

You cannot view overview and summary information on a mobile.

Description

Consultant

Orders awaiting results

Any orders that have been collected, but the results are not yet available.

Consultant

Results awaiting signoff

Any orders with results that require signing for inpatients under the consultant’s care. Results that are available for sign off but not signed off after two weeks enter a state of ‘never signed’, and no longer show in this row.

Consultant

Results for recently discharged patients

Any results for patients under the consultant’s care that have not been signed off for patients who have been discharged within the past 7 days.

Ward/area dashboards

Samples awaiting collection

Any samples that have not been collected. This only includes samples that have a collection service and does not include radiology orders. Samples not collected after 7 days enter a state of ‘abandoned’ and no longer show in this row.

Ward/area dashboards

Results awaiting signoff

Any orders with results that require signing for patients on the ward. Patients who have been transferred to the discharge lounge still show on this list. Results that are available for sign off but not signed off after 2 weeks enter a state of ‘never signed’ and no longer show in this row.
