The pathway then generates recommendations and strategies presented for consideration and actioned according to clinical judgment. In addition to the new Pathway, there are new documentation workflows for Medical / Nurse Practitioners, Allied health staff and Allied health Students; as well as a new Smoking Cessation Management Pathway. These all went live on the 7th June 2022 in all Emergency and Inpatient settings across Northern Sydney and Central Coast Local Health Districts. Community services will soon follow on June 14 with the introduction of the Smoking Cessation Management Pathway. Interactive eLearning modules (Comprehensive Care and Smoking Cessation Learning Pathways) are available for nurses and midwives, doctors and nurse practitioners, and allied health staff on My Health Learning. eMR refresher sessions on Care Compass and iView are available by visiting the eMR enhancements SharePoint site for further information.

COMPREHENSIVE CARE RISK SCREENING AND ASSESSMENT PATHWAY GOES LIVE In collaboration with the Australian Commission for Safety and Quality in Healthcare, Clinical Excellence Commission, Agency for Clinical Innovation and Local Health Districts, the eHealth NSW’s eMR Connect Program has developed a Comprehensive Care solution for the eMR that supports clinicians in providing comprehensive care to inpatients which aligns with Version 2 of the National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards (NSQHS). Comprehensive care is the coordinated delivery of the total health care required or requested by a patient. This care is aligned with the patient’s expressed goals of care and healthcare needs, considers the impact of the patient’s health issues on their life and wellbeing, and is clinically appropriate.

For queries or further information please contact; NEW ONLINE ESCALATION MAPPING TEMPLATE (EMT) The Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care (ACSQHC) has produced a new and improved resource for recognising and responding to deterioration in a person’s mental state. The Escalation Mapping Template (EMT) is a quality improvement tool to assist health service organisations to assess the effectiveness of their systems for recognising and responding to deterioration in a person’s mental state. The EMT supports services to identify existing local processes, map their alignment to the systemic recognition and response model, and evaluate their effectiveness. To enhance the user experience and navigation of the EMT, the Commission has updated the previous Excel version to an online web-based application. The new online EMT provides greater user functionality, including self-generated reports, interactive step-by-step prompts, links to Commission resources, multiple user collaboration, timestamps and more.
