There are two main types of investigations, namely
Electronic Investigations: These generally are investigations that are received into Socrates via HealthLink, typically blood results.
Local Investigations: These are investigations built into your local Socrates, some are pre-loaded and more can be created for doing various tasks. Cervical Smear is an example of a pre-loaded one, and blood tests is an example of a created one which you may or may not have.
These local investigations can be very useful for carrying out certain tasks. However, in some practices, and this applies in particular to practices that have migrated from HPM to Socrates, the list of investigations Is so long as to make them practically useless because individual investigations are just so difficult to find. If this is you , read on.
There is a search box that you can use to search available investigations, but it is not immediately visible when you open the investigations chapter.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for that.
Currently in our system ABPM results and ECG results in document review are coming up in the name of the nurse or PCA who carried out the procedure.
This creates an exposure in that they don't appear in the GPs’ document review panel.
Is there a way that the staff member who performs the ECG or ABPM can automatically assign the result to the GP who ordered it at the time that it is uploaded to Socrates?
Thanks

Hi Ronan
Not automatically but it can be done by the staff member themselves manually after completing the ECG or whatever. They would need to open the document reviewer. Find the document and then click Change HCP, and pick the GP who should look at the result.
Hope that helps. These results also go into investigations, just to be aware of that as well.

Hi Michael,
Ronan's issue is very much the same as the laboratory result assignments which frequently default to me inappropriately.
As discussed this is a simple rules based failing, ( which we incorporated into CompleteGP), not that that is particularly relevant here, however I am more than surprised, Socrates users do not/have not insisted on the latter, where the appropriate assignment is
"Last Doctors Seen"
as distinct from other default HCP assignments. A "manual" solution is hardly acceptable I would have thought.
Surely it is possible that this is implemented if requested as a group?.

Dear Richard
Welcome to my world. I agree completely with you, but that option just does not exist in Socrates. It should and would be very helpful. I could write an essay about asking Clanwilliam to add features but the summary is simple, they are simply very unresponsive and I have yet to figure out how to get this changed. There have been some developments recently that may help but I can’t say more than that for the moment.
One thing you, and everybody else on this message thread could try doing is to send an e-mail to cr@clanwilliamhealth.commailto:cr@clanwilliamhealth.com CR stands for change request. Its worth a try, maybe even post on one or two of the forums asking others to do the same and see what happens.
The wording should be something like this
“When reports are received from Healthlink we would like the ability to assign responsibility to the last doctor seen - based on consultation, rather than the default HCP or GMS GP in order to better assign results to the GP that actually ordered the tests”

As discussed this is a simple rules based failing, ( which we incorporated into CompleteGP), not that that is particularly relevant here, however I am more than surprised, Socrates users do not/have not insisted on the latter, where the appropriate assignment is
"Last Doctors Seen"
as distinct from other default HCP assignments. A "manual" solution is hardly acceptable I would have thought.
Surely it is possible that this is implemented if requested as a group?.

Hi Ronan
Not automatically but it can be done by the staff member themselves manually after completing the ECG or whatever. They would need to open the document reviewer. Find the document and then click Change HCP, and pick the GP who should look at the result.
Hope that helps. These results also go into investigations, just to be aware of that as well.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for that.
Currently in our system ABPM results and ECG results in document review are coming up in the name of the nurse or PCA who carried out the procedure.
This creates an exposure in that they don't appear in the GPs’ document review panel.
Is there a way that the staff member who performs the ECG or ABPM can automatically assign the result to the GP who ordered it at the time that it is uploaded to Socrates?
Thanks
Ronan

There are two main types of investigations, namely
Electronic Investigations: These generally are investigations that are received into Socrates via HealthLink, typically blood results.
Local Investigations: These are investigations built into your local Socrates, some are pre-loaded and more can be created for doing various tasks. Cervical Smear is an example of a pre-loaded one, and blood tests is an example of a created one which you may or may not have.
These local investigations can be very useful for carrying out certain tasks. However, in some practices, and this applies in particular to practices that have migrated from HPM to Socrates, the list of investigations Is so long as to make them practically useless because individual investigations are just so difficult to find. If this is you , read on.
There is a search box that you can use to search available investigations, but it is not immediately visible when you open the investigations chapter.
[cid:image001.png@01DAD1E7.7ADB64A0]
What you need to do is to click on any of the investigation and then start typing, the search box appears (a similar function is available in the waiting room, can be useful for quickly finding someone in the waiting room).
Here I have clicked on any of the investigations and typed H so now we see only the investigations starting with H

Another, possibly better way to organise your investigations for frequently used one, eg cervical smear, is to use investigation groups.
The groups appear above where the investigations are. In this screen shot you can see I have a group called Commonly used, I have clicked on it and now just the 2 investigations that I have put into that group are shown so can be quickly found.

The groups are managed in
My Control Panel==>Admin Console==>Investigations
Click on investigation groups on the left.
You can create a new group by typing a new name and clicking add.

Then to manage the groups
[A screenshot of a video Description automatically generated]
1: Highlight the group you want to work on
2: Whatever investigations appear here will appear in your group.
3: This is a list of all your investigations
To add an investigation click on the green + at the end of the name on the right hand side in area 3. It will now appear in area 2.
The red x in 2 can be used to remove investigations.
If I add cervical form and smear here, then back in the patient file, the commonly used investigation group now has these as well.
