Monitoring bloods scheduled, tracked and chased
Rheumatology
Rheumatology clinic software
Rheumatology combines chronic follow-up with therapies that require monitoring on a fixed schedule. Missing a monitoring blood is a safety issue, not an administrative one.
Monitoring on a schedule that cannot slip
Therapies with mandatory monitoring need the next test scheduled and chased rather than assumed.
- Monitoring scheduled from the therapy, not from memory
- The next required test visible on the patient's file
- An overdue monitoring blood raised before the next dose
- Results routed to the prescriber the day they arrive
- A therapy that cannot continue without its monitoring filed
Infusions are appointments with a chair and a drug
Scheduling has to check the chair, the nurse and the stock, and the drug cost has to reach the margin.
- Infusions booked against a chair, a nurse and the stock
- Drug batch and lot recorded against the patient
- High-cost drug cost reaching the margin on the case
- Pre-authorisation per infusion, tracked to approval
- Chair utilisation and nurse load visible per day
Disease activity as a series
Scores recorded the same way each visit are what justify continuing or changing therapy.
- Disease activity scores recorded the same way each visit
- Scores comparable across years, so a change is defensible
- The reason therapy continued or changed, on the record
- Long-interval reviews recalled rather than remembered
- Reporting per therapy, per doctor and per insurer
Assumed monitoring versus scheduled monitoring
A missed monitoring blood in rheumatology is a safety event. Assumption is not a schedule, and a diary is not a chase.
The way it is done now
