Frailty Status and Assessment

Frailty Status and Assessment

Purpose:
The patient status alerts will:
  1. help to ensure that frailty awareness is optimised within your practice

What does it actually do?

If a patient is 65 or over, the protocol looks to see if the patient has had a code of mild, moderate or severe frailty entered last.  If this is the case, the user is alerted to the patients current frailty status so they can review it or update it by clicking on the alert to be taken to the frailty template. If there is no frailty assessment or frailty score recorded but the patient is on the frailty register the user can click on the alert to be taken to the frailty template to undertake a frailty assessment or input their frailty score. 

The alert looks like this:

System Dependencies:

This relies on users coding activity accurately within the clinical system.
