Managing consultations notes efficiently is crucial in maintaining the highest standards of patient care and regulatory compliance.
In Semble, users have specific permissions for creating consultations based on their role. However, users can also allow other users to write notes on their behalf. Here’s a detailed guide on how to achieve this.
When creating consultation notes, you may find the "Clinician" dropdown list where you can choose from a list of clinicians, in order to write a note on their behalf.
To add a user to the "Clinician" field, please go into your Settings page and go to the Users tab.
Select the user you would like to appear in the "Consulting practitioner" drop-down list:
Kindly ensure you have checked the tickbox This user is a clinician for this user:
Now please scroll down to the bottom of their user profile, and check the tickbox Allow others to write consultations on my behalf :
Please ensure you have also clicked Save to update these changes.
The user will now appear as a "Clinician" in the drop-down option in your consultation notes:
Note: Unlike consultations, prescriptions are subject to stricter regulatory and security standards, especially in the UK. While users can write notes on behalf of a clinician, they cannot prescribe on their behalf.
Prescriptions must be issued directly by the prescribing clinician to ensure compliance and avoid potential misuse or errors in medication management.
