Contacts Overview

Details of carers and next of kin can be added within Vision. These people may or may not be registered at the practice.

If the carer or next of kin is a patient registered with the practice, then many of the details can be gleaned from Registration.

If the contact is not a patient registered with the practice, then all details will need to be entered, including the date on which the contact gave permission for contact details to be recorded.

Information also includes the patient(s) cared for where these are registered at the practice, and the relationship to the patient.

Regardless of whether the contact is a patient, you can select which registered patients the carer cares for or is next of kin to.

In Searches/Reports module, searching and reporting on contact information can take place using a Carers Report, printing a list of all carers recorded or a group, and the patients they care for. You can also add carers information to other reports.
