We operate a community anticoagulant clinic sprea across 4 sites regarding the clinic day in the setup menu...would that have to be changed every time we attended clinics on a different day?

Dear Phil,
RAT is setup for single site.
Some patients attend a surgery clinic on a day other than the clinic day. their next appt re-aligns them to the clinic day in the week. It also keeps the review list with a tidy list of dates.

How will you handle patients who need to attend on a day other than the recommended one. For example, an INR > 5.5 needs a repeat sample in 3 days.

Are you running RAT on a portable?


Two options:

1.You could disable the weekly clinic option. (best option)

2. Run 4 separate instances of RAT (not recommended) The audit would not be amalgamated.


Regards

Sounds like we'd be better switching off the date option, as we are running a PCT based community clinic across 5 different sites & we'd be using laptops which would then backup to our network on arrival back at the office after clinic days

Thanks for the prompt response
