About clinical notes

Clinical noting is an integral element of Nervecentre. Clinical notes contain information that is related to a patient’s clinical journey, for example, a diagnosis or a photo of a wound. Clinical notes can contain text, dates, times, images, documents, SNOMED terms, data, and audio.

You can update the information contained in clinical notes on mobile and desktop. When you update a clinical note, Nervecentre populates the clinical note everywhere the note is in scope. For example, if you update a clinical note with the scope 'Form', Nervecentre updates the clinical note within the form you are in, but does not update the clinical note anywhere else. If you update a clinical note with the scope 'Permanent', Nervecentre updates the clinical note everywhere the note appears.

When a clinical note is updated, Nervecentre might add a patient tag to the patient's record. For example, when Nervecentre updates the clinical note 'AKI' to 'AKI Stage 1', the patient tag 'AKI 1' appears in the patient's record.
