CHD Chronic Disease Register
An entry for Coronary heart disease can be made from the History Add screen.
Any entry of CHD will prompt the system to ask you if you want to place the patient on the CHD chronic disease register. This places all your CHD patients in one group, regardless of the Read description, and makes recalls easier (see Chronic Disease Management).
For a list of cardio-vascular related guidelines, see Cardio-vascular and Hypertension Guidelines.
- First select a patient and start a consultation.
- Either select Add - CHD Register from the menu. Go to step 3.
Or you could do Add-Medical History and make an entry for coronary heart disease in the Read description in Read Term for Characteristic, for example, by entering a keyword of CORONARY ARTERY and press Enter, then using the down arrow key, scroll down to reach G340.12 Coronary artery disease (note a keyword of CHD is interpreted as Congenital Heart Disease); or double click in the Read prompt and select from the Read dictionary.
See also Cardio-vascular related Read Terms.
Complete the Type of Characteristic, Episode Type, Priority, free text Comment, and Recall (see General screen entries).
When you click on OK, you will be asked if you want to put this patient on to the CHD Register. Answer Yes if relevant - see Chronic Disease Management -. Only patients on the Register count towards Health Promotion records.
- On the Chronic Disease Register - CHD, click on the Health Promotion button
if you want to record a Health Promotion intervention for CHD. CHD records are relevant for Health Promotion for patients whose age falls within 25 and 74 years. - You can also record Health Promotion interventions for CHD patients either from HP Interventions on the Navigation pane of the Patient Record - right click and choose either Summary Form or Management Plan; or from the Add menu, selecting Health Promotion Intervention - Coronary Heart Disease.
- See also CV or Hypertension Management Plan.
