Take a look at managing patients for clinicians

Managing patient records

You can register a patient in Nervecentre, and link their patient record to PDS Personal Demographic Service, an NHS system. The PDS helps healthcare professionals to identify patients and match them to their health records. It also allows them to contact and communicate with patients.. You can view and edit a patient's information.

ADT

You can preadmit, admit, transfer, and discharge patients in Nervecentre. When you perform one of these actions, Nervecentre automatically updates the patient class the patient is in.

Managing episodes of care

A patient can have more than one active episode of care. Episodes of care might have an RTT pathway.

You can view a patient's episodes of care, and the activities within them. Activities can be referrals, appointments, advice and guidance requests, preadmissions, visits, procedures, waiting list entries, and PIFU pathways.

Reporting and the back office

You can create reports, and complete subject access requests. You can view finished consultant episodes that need clinical coding. You retrieve information from e-RS Electronic Referral Service. Used by GPs/patients to book initial appointments with specialists at a convenient time. This would replace the current system where a referral is made to the specialist who then sends out a letter with an appointment – if the patient can’t attend that appointment they’ll have to call back and rearrange.. You can view and manage prescriptions sent to community pharmacies by EPS Electronic Prescription Service. An NHS service only available in England.This service allows prescribers to send prescriptions to community pharmacies. The pharmacies can dispense medications to patients..
