Update the Covid-19 Status

Within the Covid-19 Status page you can enter the details of the Patients Covid-19 Status  and the details of any test results.

There are a number of ways to navigate to the  Covid-19 Status page and it doesn’t matter which method you use.

Tap on the relevant section below to find out more.

Tip: It is important not to mix up the Patient’s Recorded Covid-19 Symptoms with their Household Covid-19 Status (see also “How do I record if a Patient has Covid-19 Symptoms?” in the FAQ).

The household status is intended to reflect the most serious situation within a household recognizing that a household could have multiple occupants.

Step 1: Find your Patient in CHAI

Using My List  find the Patient whose details you need to change.

If the person isn’t in your list please speak to your group manager or team manager.

Step 2: Navigate your way to the  Covid Status Page

Option 2.1: Navigation Using the  Banner

Tap the current Covid-19 Status Icon  in the Banner .

You can always find the  Banner at the top of every page that is related to that individual.

Option 2.2: Navigation Using the Patient’s  Summary Page

Once on an individual’s  Summary Page, tap the  Covid-19 item in the  Menu on the left.

Option 2.3: Navigation Using the  Forms Menu

From the Patient’s  Summary Page, tap on the  Forms icon in the Menu on the left, you will enter the Forms Menu, then tap on the Covid-19 icon.

Next, tap Status.

Finally, expand the Covid-19 Screening card (it may be highlighted in blue, don’t worry).

Tip: Card Header Colours

The card headers use colour to indicate the status of that card:

White: The Card has not been completed

Yellow: The card has been partially completed by an external source such as an integration link from the NHS or Social Services. It requires review. Depending on your group’s settings, you may not have any integration links set up.

Green: The card was completed by you, the current user.

Blue: The card was completed by a different user.

Purple: The card was completed by a trainee and requires countersigning. Depending on your version of CHAI, this feature may be disabled.

Step 3: Changing the Status

Select the relevent status from the options, if in doubt ask your manager for advice.

The Covid Status will update the Patient’s Banner .
