Current chapter – Recommendations for making changes to patient records


Before making changes to patient records relating to extended S17 leave, we recommend you download a copy of current patient records using the Clinical Audit Platform (CAP) reporting function as detailed in the CAP exporting a patient extract guidance. This can be used for reference if manually updating or entering records in the user interface, or for record upload.  

We also recommended you use the reporting and upload functionality in CAP to copy the content of the existing record and edit it for the new record.  This will avoid having to manually re-enter many fields when creating the new record.  More detailed guidance on this is in the section on Exporting, editing and re-uploading patient data.
