The care team says who is answerable for a patient right now: the midwife following a pregnancy, or the doctor covering while a colleague is on leave. It is a record of responsibility. It does not change what anybody can open.

Steps

  1. Open the patient's chart.
  2. Choose Who is holding this patient.
  3. Choose Name somebody.
  4. Under Capacity, choose Primary, Covering or Supervising.
  5. Under Colleague, choose who it is.

What to expect

The colleague is listed with their capacity, the time the period started and who named them.

Who is holding Chinedu Adeyemi, listing Grace Okafor as Primary from today, named by Dr. Tayo Balogun, with End it beside her.

A period starts when you name somebody; it cannot be dated back or ahead. Naming a new primary ends the previous primary's period, and both stay on the record. Including ended shows the periods that have ended.

Only colleagues who can be booked are offered.
