Reviewing Current Patient Accesses

When you click on PATIENT DATA in the navigation bar at the top of the screen, you will see four tabs: Patient Search, Access Summary, Referrals, and Interventions.  Click on the “Access Summary” to see a list of your patients and their most recent access information.

Next to each patient is a list of all access types recorded for the patient during the last month.  The last date the patient used that access is shown for each entry.  A question mark indicates an unexpected value, such as a catheter with a gauge or a missing access.  It is also easy to see which AV patients are missing needle gauge values.

 Remember: Missing or inaccurate information can prevent you from getting full value from Vasc-Alert, so take a moment whenever you log in to make sure that this information is being kept as current as possible. If you find an error, it must be fixed in your Electronic Medical Record system.
