Covid searches in PatientChase – Important enhancements

7th Feb 2021

Following on from our recent blog outlining the use of PatientChase to manage Covid vaccinations, we’ve made some extremely useful enhancements to the information you will see in PatientChase’s Covid searches. These falls in line with the most recent government guidelines.

These are:

  1. The number of days since the 1st vaccine
  2. How many days until the 2nd vaccine is due based on the 12 week time frame
  3. The date the 2nd vaccine is due
  4. Which vaccine was given as the 1st dose.

These extra fields will look like this in your PatientChase Covid searches:

Remember that you can sort by any of the columns.

In order to load these updated Covid searches please update PatientChase to version 70.

When you are updated to version 70 of PatientChase you will see this at the top of the PatientChase main screen:

You will also need to REIMPORT the latest Covid searches into EMIS to import this extra information.

To do this, please follow this guide

The most useful and user friendly software that I have encountered in over 30 years of working with management systems.

I am so glad that we as a practice have purchased PatientChase – it has completely revamped our recall system, has been invaluable during flu recall season and more importantly shows us where the ‘holes’ are when we get to near the end of the QoF year. Many thanks!

PatientChase is an excellent product of which I think as soon as you purchase it you will ask yourself ‘how ever did I cope without it?!

This product will make my QOF staff member’s job so much simpler and is a quarter of a QOF point for me

As a practice we have relied upon PatientChase to streamline our patient recall system for several years now. I consider this an essential tool
