Nearly 70 alerts have been added to the Dorset Care Record this week by one of our key health partners, Dorset County Hospital (DCH). The additional alerts, which have been added to an existing feed, include allergy alert types, such as hay fever, latex, house dust, bees and wasps and adhesives, to help increase awareness among clinicians.
Other alerts that have been added include those around specific medical conditions, including possible cases of tuberculosis and previous pressure ulcer alerts, Munchausen syndrome and mental disorders, child safeguarding and social alerts, such as patient notes, armed forces information and patients who have multiple aliases.
The additional alerts mean that DCH now provides nearly 100 different alerts into the shared care record.
