Treatment Setup
A “Treatment Setup” allows you to describe a patient’s treatment plan, and is shown at the top of each patient’s timeline.
To view and manage a patient’s Treatment Setups:
- navigate to the patient’s timeline
- locate the Treatment Setups section of the page
From here one can:
- view a list of all existing Treatment Setups by clicking on the dot menu and clicking the See all treatment setups link
- create a new Treatment Setup
- edit the latest Treatment Setup
Creating a Treatment Setup
To create a treatment setup:
- navigate to the Treatment Setup section of the patient’s timeline
- click on the dot menu to the right of the heading
- click Add Treatment Setup
- enter the details for the patient’s treatment, and optionally upload any files that are relevant to the treatment
- click Add Treatment Setup to save the details
Editing a Treatment Setup
As Treatment Setups are medical records, it’s important to ensure that they can be audited, and that updates are distinct.
To ensure auditability, we place a few restrictions on who can edit these items, and for how long. We use the following rules:
- only the person who created a Treatment Setup may edit it
- the Treatment Setup may only be edited on the day it was created
If either of these conditions aren’t met, a new Treatment Setup must be created, which will then replace the existing one at the top of the patient’s timeline. This can either be done by creating a new Treatment Setup, or by copying an existing Treatment Setup.
To edit a Treatment Setup:
- from the Treatment Setup section on the patient’s timeline, click the dot menu
- click Edit Treatment Setup
- update the details
- click Update Treatment Setup
Files may be deleted on a per-file basis.
Copying an existing Treatment Setup
If a Treatment Setup cannot be edited, because of the rules in the Editing a Treatment Setup section, it may be convenient to create a new Treatment Setup starting with the existing one’s details and files.
To do this:
- from the Treatment Setup on the patient’s timeline, click the dot menu
- click Copy Treatment Setup
- update the details
- click Add Treatment Setup
