Acuity Rating

You can update the Acuity Rating during a Regular Health Check, or without completing a health check via the following method:

1. Update from Person Information by clicking the current acuity rating (highlighted in purple)

2. Select the appropriate Acuity Rating after the clinical assessment. Enter your reason for the change. This will write a note on the Note Timeline.

3. To save your changes, select Save.

Note:

Acuity rating is used to measure how much time someone might need from staff to help plan resourcing, rather than ‘how sick’ they are.

Please refer to HealthPathways for advice on how to use the Acuity rating to match baseline clinical risk and current symptoms.
