Generating a PDF report
A customisable Report is able to be generated for the user to either print a hardcopy of the results or to be saved as a PDF using your browsers native operating system functionality.
PRIVACY
For privacy purposes, this form does not transmit or store any information. Once the page is closed, you cannot retrieve the information.
Step 1 - Access ‘Generate Report’ form
Once you have provided a response for each of the 8 domains, you will see that the Generate Report button is active.
Click the Generate Report button
A new browser page will open displaying the current results along with additional form fields.
Step 2 - Provide details
The Generate Report form is split into 4 sections:
1. Patient Details - this sections contains the following fields, all of which are mandatory:
Patient Name
Patient Unique Identifier
Patient Date of Birth
Practitioner’s Name
Date and time rating was generated (system generated)
2. Level of Care - this sections contains the following:
The DST-derivied level of care
Option to define the Practitioner’s recommended Level of Care
Confirming or changing the Level of Care
The DST algorithm calculates a Recommended Level of Care but notes that the practitioner should review the assessment on Contextual Domains to determine most appropriate placement, which can be found in the reports’ Rating section. The practitioner-selected Level of Care will automatically default as the displayed base level of care (1).
Practitioners may determine a different level of care from the DST-derived level of care (2). This may be due to service availability, the unique and personal circumstances and preferences of the individual patient/consumer, including other health or social issues, the consumer’s service preferences and choices, and any risk or safety issues.
The practitioner can change the Practitioner recommended Level of Care if they assess the patient as requiring a different Level of Care (3).
3. Rating - this sections contains the following static information:
Primary Assessment Domains scores
Contextual Domains scores
4. Practitioner Notes - this sections contains a free text field for practitioner notes. If relevant, this could include the rationale for any deviation between the DST-derived level of care and the practitioner recommended level of care.
Step 3 - Print and/or Save Report
Once the practitioner has completed the relevant fields the Print button will become active.
Clicking the Print button will open the print ready version of the report and bring up the browser’s native print dialog screen where the practitioner can either print the report or save the report as a PDF.
