Jobs & Patients

Jobs and Patient Records

A Job is a deployment of medical crew(s) to a potential patient or patients. It has its own associated data including the crew involved, time stamps and location. A single Job can result in any number of patient records, including none in which case it becomes a stand down. Jobs that are stand downs do not count for your IndieBase patient record quotas regarding subscriptions. For each person requiring care a Patient Record will need to be created. Sometimes there will be no Patient Records required (e.g. refused care) while other times you may have multiple patients per Job (e.g. a group incident). Through the job model, organisations are able to count deployments that result in a patient, patients and their respective stand down rates. 

Checking a Record In & Out

When you are working on a Patient Record the Job becomes Checked Out onto your device. This means the record is held by you and can't be edited by others. Once checked out, you will be able to continue working on that patient record even if you lose connection. You can check out multiple patient records at once from your Jobs List (e.g. if you are entering an area you know has poor connectivity). You can also create new Jobs and Patients even if you've lost connectivity. You can check in one of your Jobs (and release it for others to see / edit) by either clicking on ‘Check In’ from the Job List view. Or by clicking Job Done at the bottom of a Patient Record. Team Admin users can Force Check In a Patient Record if necessary (e.g., a staff member left without checking in a record). This will make the record available for any other User to access and edit from the Jobs List (if they have the correct permissions to do so).

Force Check In

Team Admin users can Force Check In a patient record if necessary (e.g. a staff member left without checking in a record). This will make the record available for any other user to access and edit from the Jobs List (if they have the correct permissions to do so).

Job Status

All Users will see if a Job has been checked out in the Jobs List. They will be able to see who has the Job checked out, along with a data risk status: - Active (Green) - the Patient Record is being actively worked on by a User and the data is up to date (edits within the last 5 minutes). - Idle (Amber) - the User is still online and so the data is up to date, but the Patient Record has not been edited for at least 5 minutes. - Offline (Red) - the User has not been online for at least 5 minutes. There is a risk of lost data if you force check in the Job.
