Folder Home

Patient folders are created to record any episode of care (treatment or trauma) a patient has for each specialty.

An episode can be a burn, plastic surgery procedure or specialist care by a burns team. A patient folder forms the central point of the patient record overall. Each patient folder may have one or many medical specialties linked to it. In the case of iBID only the Burn Injury specialty is included.

The folders are a central hub for each patient record, and it will link to the patent demographics, contain the patients iBID episodes and link the patient's daily dependency care to the patent record.

At the top of the patient folder, a summary of the demographics information is displayed, to enable the user to confirm the patient's details before proceeding. It is important to do this to make sure you have the most up-to-date details for the patient. An "Edit" or "Dismiss" button is also present to enable ease of editing. Click the "Edit" button and the patient's demographics will be displayed in "Edit" mode. Once the Dismiss button is selected the field will display a short summary containing Patient Name, NHS Number, Date of Birth and Age.

When an item from the navigation bar is activated the patient demographic summary will automatically be minimised to allow maximum screen usage. The patient summary will be maximised again if the patient folder has not been edited for seven days or more.

The top field of the folder itself is a text field (up to 255 characters) and is pre-filled with "New Folder" and the date. Please feel free to replace this with a better description of the contents of the patient record, searchable keywords can be free typed in to this field, such as Scald injury to right arm from domestic kettle.
