Doctors Control Panel (DCP)
Doctors control panel is an add-on application that works with patient management systems to alert GP’s to preventive care items that need to be addressed. This allows GP’s to quickly see what items in a patients medical file need attention.
- Red items indicate, nothing has been recorded
- Orange items indicate, needs updating
- Green items indicate, up-to date
DCP can assist general practice’s in meeting accreditation standards by prompting doctors and nurses to record required information such as Smoking, Allergies, Blood Pressure, Height and Weight.
