How to safety-net patients at risk of cancer using the Dashboard

A guide on how C the Signs automates safety-netting and how your practice can track patients on the Practice Dashboard.

Automated safety-netting

• Patients are automatically safety-netted onto the Dashboard when following completion of a C the Signs referral form, FIT safety-netting shortcut, or risk assessment.
• Each patient will have a dedicated entry on the Dashboard, where all information needed to safety-net cancer related investigations and referrals can be found.
• Results for any tests and investigations can be viewed on the Practice Dashboard. 

How to view your Practice Dashboard and track patients

Step 1

• Click on the second button of the C the Signs toolbar:

Step 2

• When you open the dashboard it will default to the 'Active' Board. 
• Here you will find a list of patients that were automatically added following completion of a C the Signs risk assessment, urgent cancer referrals form, and/or FIT safety-net shortcut.  
• Each patient will have a dedicated entry, where all information needed to safety-net cancer-related tests and referrals can be found.

• You can view more information about the patient by clicking on the entry. From here you can follow up patients by adding an outcome to their plans, by clicking ‘Select’. 

• Once all medical plans have been actioned, the patient will move to either the 'Cancer Confirmed' or 'Cancer Excluded' board.
