Introduction
Any authorised healthcare professional is able to use CHC2DST to enter the patient data required by the existing paper-based Checklist.
The user is able to record if the patient's representative was invited to attend the CHC assessment meeting and whether they did.
The patient's consent is explicitly captured so that the Checklist can be shared with those professionals who will subsequently be drawn on to assess them.
The patients GP can be identified and details added, based on a drop-down list of surgeries served by the CCG. This reduces the need for manual address look-up and delivers speed and accuracy of data to the information entered.
