It is important that you are able to update the patient status as often as neccessary, whilst ensuring that your team get real time information without having to re-enter the entire SBAR form or message each team member individually.
The best way to do this is by adding a new comment to the patient handover, either with an image or simply just text.
- Select the 'Handover' tab at the bottom of your screen
- From your patient list, click into the patient record you would like to update
- Once the patient handover is open, navigate to the 'Comments' tab
- Press 'Add comment' button
- You are able to tag a specific team member (and don't forget, the tick will turn to two blue ones once they have seen it)
- Add the comment text body
- You can also add an image to the comment, and redact or draw on that image where necessary
- You are also able to reply to an existing comment by pressing 'Reply' beneath the original comment - this will automatically tag the author of the comment, and any users mentioned in their post
