A patient must be assigned to a room before you are able to take their observations using Oxevision Observations. Below is a step-by-step guide on how to assign a patient to a room in Oxevision. 

‍

Step 1: On the Room Overview page, select the room tile you wish to assign the patient to.

‍

‍

Step 2: Select the “+Occupant” button on the Room Actions page.

‍

‍

Step 3: On the Add Occupant page, complete the information listed below (you may need to scroll down the page). Once complete, select the “Save” button.

‍

• The patient’s first and last name (mandatory).
• The patient’s NHS number (mandatory).
• The date and time the patient started using the room (mandatory).
• The current level of observation the patient is on and the reason for this level (mandatory).
• The additional observation level the patient is on and the reason for the level (only if relevant).
• The time of day and/or location for each observation level (only if relevant).
• Any other information related to the patient, for example, details of the patient’s care plan and where to find it.
• Any risk factors that are applicable to the patient - please select the “More” button to see a list of additional risk factors which can be selected. Selecting the “Done” button will return you to the Add Occupant page.

‍

Once added, the patient’s name will replace ‘+Occupant’ on the Room Actions page.

‍

‍

The patient and the information you have submitted will be assigned to that room until the patient is manually removed or transferred from the room on the system - please refer to the following modules for more details on how to do this:

• ‘How to remove a patient from an Oxevision room’
• ‘How to transfer a patient to a different Oxevision room’

‍

‍You must be trained to use the system. Your Oxehealth Ward Lead can arrange this for you – or ask your manager.
