022 Meds Management: Catheters and Stomas

The Catheters and Stomas searches are designed to identify patients who have been prescribed catheter, stoma, or associated accessories in the past 3 months.

The Catheters and Stomas folder forms part of 022 Meds Management

This folder can be run with a relative run date to view a different time period.

The report MMA-071 OVERVIEW details by patient all products by medication course that have been issued over the past 3 months. Helpfully it also includes the current EPS Appliance Contractor, and if the patient is on the Palliative Care register. The report does not list the number of issues of each item in the audit period; this is expected to serve as a useful overview prior to interrogating patient records.
