 | Paul Sugarhood @paulsugarhood Welcome everyone to today's #OTalk about occupational therapists and digital care records |
 | Life for Living Ltd @life_4_living @OTalk_ @Helen_OTUK #OTalk Hi. Looking forward to the evening. |
| OTalk @otalk_ Have we all got our drinks and settled down ready to #Otalk |
 | Becky Evans @bevans_ot @OTalk_ @Helen_OTUK Here to learn something today! #OTalk |
 | Amy Stringer @amystringerot @OTalk_ #OTalk hello hello, we're ready to roll |
| Paul Sugarhood @paulsugarhood Let's get started. Lots of names for digital care records - electronic patient record, integrated record etc Interested in all #OTalk |
 | Kwaku Agyemang @kwakuot Hi All...Just Lurking...👀 #OTalk |
| OTalk @otalk_ RT @PaulSugarhood: Let's get started. Lots of names for digital care records - electronic patient record, integrated record etc Interested… |
| Paul Sugarhood @paulsugarhood So, Q1: What digital care records do you use, and how? To what purposes? #OTalk |
 | Michele Morgan @michelemorganot @OTalk_ @Helen_OTUK Ready to learn! #OTalk |
| OTalk @otalk_ #OTalk Q1. https://t.co/N1aGYCxc5x |
 | Helen OTUK @helen_otuk @PaulSugarhood as an independent I have my own system. #OTalk |
| Life for Living Ltd @life_4_living @PaulSugarhood #OTalk - home based systems &, cloud based (although not always sure if these are ultra secure) to be able to record promptly and review |
 | Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot Hello folks #otalk |
 | student platform OT @spoteurope Tonights #OTalk topic; 'Occupational Therapy &Digital Care Records–Help or Hinderance?' Wherever you are in the world get involved! #CPD #OT https://t.co/rLBKD2pl2A |
 | Hannah Silcock @scrumpess #OTalk my trust only has dictated letters on an electronic system to read. Have used lots of different examples in different places though |
| Paul Sugarhood @paulsugarhood @Life_4_Living What do you use the systems for? #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @PaulSugarhood Rehab optima is what we use mostly. It's for our daily documentations and reports. #otalk |
| Amy Stringer @amystringerot @PaulSugarhood Electronic patient records to record therapy notes and to share important information with the MDT team in real time #OTalk |
| Paul Sugarhood @paulsugarhood @Scrumpess So, are most of your records on paper? #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @PaulSugarhood Some nursing home rehab companies in US use different systems. #otalk |
| student platform OT @spoteurope @OTalk_ @Helen_OTUK Hello! We'll be lurking this evening. Looking forward to another great #OTalk! 🙃 |
 | Kerri Schubert @kerri_schot @OTalk_ @Helen_OTUK hey!! here for #otalk 💚💚 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @PaulSugarhood I also know that sometimes I will use Vision to write telephone orders and OT care plans. #otalk |
 | BUY FOLLO₩ERS :ten @mandawurst RT @Helen_OTUK: @PaulSugarhood as an independent I have my own system. #OTalk |
 | Shelley Faulkner OT @shelleyamybeth What's the theme of tonight's #OTalk? |
| Kwaku Agyemang @kwakuot #OTalk I Use A System Called Jade...To Record Therapy Progress Notes And Also To Record Assessments. https://t.co/6JPZRsZDAJ |
| Hannah Silcock @scrumpess @PaulSugarhood #OTalk most of ours is on paper. I find it frustrating, especially after coming from places further on with electronic records |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @PaulSugarhood @Scrumpess In my setting, though buildings that got started (as well as select small buildings) still use paper documentation. #otalk |
| Paul Sugarhood @paulsugarhood @shelleyamybeth #OTalk how digital care records help or hinder occupational therapy practice |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schot @PaulSugarhood where I work we don't have any digital records.. all paper based #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @Scrumpess @PaulSugarhood I find that way too. But I was glad I got transitioned into electronic records at my job rather than dive into straight away. #otalk |
| Hannah Silcock @scrumpess @PaulSugarhood #otalk although I have never seen, what I would consider, a fully integrated MDT electronic patient record |
| Paul Sugarhood @paulsugarhood A lot of paper still used! RT @kerri_schOT @PaulSugarhood where I work we don't have any digital records.. all paper based #otalk |
 | Chloe Woodley @chloewoodleyot Hello! Long time since I've been on #OTalk but I'm back!💚 |
| Kwaku Agyemang @kwakuot Oh Wow...That Must Be Tough? #OTalk https://t.co/ZWmp9EVVdc |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @PaulSugarhood @shelleyamybeth Now our documentations most of the time look like it is coming from a cookie cutter... at least from what I am using. #otalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schot @shelleyamybeth digital care records! #otalk |
| Paul Sugarhood @paulsugarhood @Scrumpess #OTalk There are many different systems in use in the UK e.g. RiO, EMIS, Carefirst |
| Helen OTUK @helen_otuk RT @PaulSugarhood: @Scrumpess #OTalk There are many different systems in use in the UK e.g. RiO, EMIS, Carefirst |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schot @KwakuOT slightly if 2+ people are wanting the same notes at the same.. can hinder work #otalk |
| Paul Sugarhood @paulsugarhood @BillWongOT @shelleyamybeth Interesting, do they force you into recording certain things in certain ways, which may not fit OT? #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @PaulSugarhood @shelleyamybeth We are given options to type in the billing categories. But most of the time we just click what is available to us to bill. #otalk |
 | Molly Harris @mollharrisot I used RiO when on placement in settings in Berkshire, my first placement setting was paperless but second was nearly all paper based #OTalk |
| Amy Stringer @amystringerot #OTalk I've experienced both paper based+electronic. I prefer electronic as I can edit+condense notes more efficiently+always have access |
| Paul Sugarhood @paulsugarhood Seems like there is a lot of variation, with much paper! #otalk |
 | Erin Cullen @erinotstudent #OTalk I was stunned by the primacy of paper on my acute physical placement |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @shelleyamybeth @PaulSugarhood For me if I have to co-sign for assistants and write reports, that can be a bit time consuming. #otalk |
| Paul Sugarhood @paulsugarhood @ErinOTstudent In my experience, acute settings seem to have more paper than community #otalk |
 | Louise @norwoodthreads Evening everyone. Lurking tonight as on family holiday but looking forward to catching up via the transcript #OTalk |
| Hannah Silcock @scrumpess @mollharrisOT #otalk how did you find it going from one to the other? Did you have a preference? |
| Paul Sugarhood @paulsugarhood Shall we move to Q2: in what ways do digital care records help your occupational therapy practice? #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @shelleyamybeth @PaulSugarhood And I often am a little afraid if I am not there to supervise the assistants at such facilities physically. #otalk |
| Amy Stringer @amystringerot @PaulSugarhood #OTalk I had no idea so many workplaces still used paper based notes! It's 2017!!! |
| OTalk @otalk_ #OTalk Q2 https://t.co/6kh6aGJelI |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @AmyStringerOT @PaulSugarhood US there are still some! So not alone in U.K. #otalk |
| Chloe Woodley @chloewoodleyot I've experienced both, but find electronic easier & quicker to be more concise. I found that I rambled a bit using paper notes! #OTalk |
| Paul Sugarhood @paulsugarhood @AmyStringerOT Recording on paper has some advantages - more flexible, less rule / drop-down box driven? #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @PaulSugarhood For me in writing reports, having all the available notes in one place is great! Also, no need to fight for charts w/ departments! #otalk |
| Life for Living Ltd @life_4_living @PaulSugarhood #OTalk notes are quick to complete, easily accessible and more portable than paper copies. I am in the community so electronic is best |
| Hannah Silcock @scrumpess @AmyStringerOT @PaulSugarhood I have 1 computer in my room with 6/7 clinicians. Resources need to be improved before we can even consider going electronic #OTalk |
| Molly Harris @mollharrisot @Scrumpess preferred using RiO it was so much easier and efficient! However second placement was on a ward so it was different using care plans #otalk |
 | Celia Bentley @celiabentleyot @AmyStringerOT @PaulSugarhood #otalk crazy isn't it? Paper notes get lost/fall out of files but the main problem is being unable to read other professionals handwriting! |
| Paul Sugarhood @paulsugarhood @BillWongOT Instant access to info seems to be a benefit? #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot RT @Life_4_Living: @PaulSugarhood #OTalk notes are quick to complete, easily accessible and more portable than paper copies. I am in t… |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schot RT @BillWongOT: @PaulSugarhood For me in writing reports, having all the available notes in one place is great! Also, no need to fi… |
| Chloe Woodley @chloewoodleyot @PaulSugarhood @AmyStringerOT That's true! Sometimes it's hard to fill the all the boxes if it hasn't been observed etc. But then it does help with thinking.. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @PaulSugarhood In a setting where productivity is king, instant access helps a lot! #otalk |
| Amy Stringer @amystringerot Electronic patient records mean more efficient, timely, accessible patient notes. Also, handwriting legibility isn't an issue #OTalk |
| Louise @norwoodthreads @AmyStringerOT #OTalk Ditto! |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schot @PaulSugarhood @AmyStringerOT think there's pro's and con's .. it's very time consuming to write, but don't have to wait for an available computer etc .. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @celiabentleyOT @AmyStringerOT @PaulSugarhood And sometimes worse is that if you have to insert something in an already thick chart. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot RT @AmyStringerOT: Electronic patient records mean more efficient, timely, accessible patient notes. Also, handwriting legibility isn't an… |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot RT @kerri_schOT: @PaulSugarhood @AmyStringerOT think there's pro's and con's .. it's very time consuming to write, but don't have to… |
 | Susan Windeatt @mooartdotcom @PaulSugarhood @BillWongOT Only a benefit if there is access to the technology can be a problem e.g. lack of computer terminals. #OTalk https://t.co/MBEUgFl7tO |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @kerri_schOT @PaulSugarhood @AmyStringerOT A con is that if you come at same time as everyone else, now you have to fight for computer access in rehab room. #otalk |
| Paul Sugarhood @paulsugarhood @mooartdotcom @BillWongOT Access to a computer seems to be common problem, backed up by recent surveys #otalk |
| Chloe Woodley @chloewoodleyot @kerri_schOT @PaulSugarhood @AmyStringerOT And when electronic systems crash, nothing can be done as notes cannot be accessed! #OTalk |
| Amy Stringer @amystringerot Yes you have to wait or a computer, but you also have to wait for and locate patient folders when it's paper-based. #OTalk |
| Erin Cullen @erinotstudent @PaulSugarhood True. Interested in this topic - my instinct is digital=better but in hospital ppl with experience are so wary I started to doubt it #otalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schot @PaulSugarhood on placement i've experienced both and found digital care records easy & quick to access, enabling making goals/plan easier #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @PaulSugarhood @mooartdotcom In my company, usually is one computer per licensed therapist (assistants don't count even though they have to chart too). #otalk |
| Hannah Silcock @scrumpess @PaulSugarhood #OTalk everything is in 1 place. You don't have to ask a patient the same question 5 other different professionals have already asked them |
| Amy Stringer @amystringerot I also don't think paper based is the most hygienic, but maybe that's just me! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @AmyStringerOT That's why I am coming super late. I guarantee will have a computer to me for part of the day! #otalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schot exactly, very frustrating.. at least you can write anywhere and everywhere #otalk https://t.co/8tbMb7xhS6 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @AmyStringerOT If everyone comes at around 7-8, coming at 10 or so has its advantages. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @kerri_schOT In my documentation system, you can write anywhere too if you have a PC or someway you can get on Windows with a different OS. #otalk |
| Paul Sugarhood @paulsugarhood Q3: how do you work around digital care records if/when they do not support your practice? #otalk |
| Celia Bentley @celiabentleyot @AmyStringerOT True #otalk. Either way there's a lot of wasted time but in 2017 I would have thought tablets would be used more to increase efficiency. |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schot @ChloeWoodleyOT @PaulSugarhood @AmyStringerOT argh nightmare! when you lose all your work .. #otalk |
| Amy Stringer @amystringerot I think in terms of confidentiality and data protection, while both ways have associated risks, electronic seems to be more secure #OTalk |
 | charlotte dunkley @charldunkley @PaulSugarhood #OTalk sorry I'm late to the discussion. We use nervecentre electronic system for obs and task lists otherwise we still use written notes. |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @PaulSugarhood Good thing about my system as I said earlier is that you can always type in instead of using its builder. #otalk |
 | Dr Janice Jones @janicej6873404 #otalk just joined. Looking forward to catching up. |
| Hannah Silcock @scrumpess #OTalk a con=less personal. In outpatients if i was typing into a computer looking away from a patient it's harder to build rapport |
| Molly Harris @mollharrisot @PaulSugarhood I found digital care records easier and more efficient to use when info gathering and looking at pmh before seeing a patient #OTalk |
| OTalk @otalk_ #OTalk Q3. https://t.co/xay5z5DRYC |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schot @BillWongOT that's very handy! i've had to sit in a hot desk room plenty of times #otalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schot RT @ChloeWoodleyOT: @kerri_schOT @PaulSugarhood @AmyStringerOT And when electronic systems crash, nothing can be done as notes cannot be ac… |
| Erin Cullen @erinotstudent @PaulSugarhood @mooartdotcom @BillWongOT Yes this (lack of computers) is another thing I was shocked by on placement, after 12 years working in offices! #otalk |
| Paul Sugarhood @paulsugarhood @CharlDunkley Interesting, not heard of nervecentre. Need to look it up! #otalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schot RT @Life_4_Living: @PaulSugarhood #OTalk notes are quick to complete, easily accessible and more portable than paper copies. I am in t… |
| Amy Stringer @amystringerot @celiabentleyOT Tablets would be a dream! Could input notes as you're walking from ward to ward! #OTDreams #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @celiabentleyOT @AmyStringerOT In US, we have a company like that. But many said that it feels like you are operating a taxi cab... since you have to track tx time. #otalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schot @ChloeWoodleyOT @PaulSugarhood @AmyStringerOT yes potentially prompts you to add more detail #otalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schot RT @BillWongOT: @PaulSugarhood In a setting where productivity is king, instant access helps a lot! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @AmyStringerOT @celiabentleyOT Not necessarily, I have many rehab colleagues complained that a company that does it has lots of glitches. #otalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schot RT @AmyStringerOT: Electronic patient records mean more efficient, timely, accessible patient notes. Also, handwriting legibility isn't an… |
| Becky Evans @bevans_ot @Scrumpess At placements I have been hand writing notes and then typing them up after and shredding my original notes, mostly for that reason #OTalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schot such a good point .. not being able to read notes is the worst #otalk https://t.co/LDPp2yz4fv |

| Paul Sugarhood @paulsugarhood With Q3, I'm thinking of when I was involved in a switch to a system which only had only 1 code for transfers (bed, bath etc) #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot RT @AmyStringerOT: I think in terms of confidentiality and data protection, while both ways have associated risks, electronic seems to be m… |
| Amy Stringer @amystringerot @kerri_schOT @ChloeWoodleyOT @PaulSugarhood Ours aren't fill-in boxes, just a blank page to write your note so I feel there is flexibility and room for personal note styles #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @kerri_schOT You would hate to be my colleague then... lol! I have pretty bad handwriting. 😜 #otalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schot RT @AmyStringerOT: Yes you have to wait or a computer, but you also have to wait for and locate patient folders when it's paper-based. #OTa… |
| Celia Bentley @celiabentleyot #OTalk I've found that OT notes get overlooked/ignored in paper notes generally- is this still as much an issue with digital notes? |
| Paul Sugarhood @paulsugarhood RT @celiabentleyOT: #OTalk I've found that OT notes get overlooked/ignored in paper notes generally- is this still as much an issue with di… |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schot @AmyStringerOT always potential for systems to get hacked though.. and paper notes to get lost/stolen .. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @celiabentleyOT Unfortunately in my doc system, we still do. One person put DNT can start a chain reaction for a week or longer! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @kerri_schOT @AmyStringerOT And with electronic systems, programs crashing (or forgetting to save) can drive you nuts! #otalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schot @BillWongOT haha to be fair mine isn't the best but I try to make it clear as possible! #otalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schot RT @BillWongOT: @kerri_schOT You would hate to be my colleague then... lol! I have pretty bad handwriting. 😜 #otalk |
| Amy Stringer @amystringerot @kerri_schOT Yes, it's picking the lesser of two evils! Hopefully with cyber security the hacking will become less of a risk in years to come #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @kerri_schOT But you would like me as a person. I like to keep things loose. I am a free spirit... lol! #otalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schot @BillWongOT @AmyStringerOT yes i can imagine, when computers crash / are really slow it's annoying and unproductive #otalk |
| Chloe Woodley @chloewoodleyot I found electronic good on placement as I could write my own notes as a draft on the system, before my educator read & approved them! #OTalk |
| Paul Sugarhood @paulsugarhood @celiabentleyOT What are your experiences? Do other professionals read your notes, and vice versa? #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @kerri_schOT @AmyStringerOT If your building lose Internet, that means you can't chart. Dealt with that more than a few times already. #otalk |
 | RCOT CYPF @rcot_cypf RT @OTDeborah Great presentation don’t miss taking a peek at this blog #cot2017 #otalk https://t.co/OI2LPPK140 |
| Celia Bentley @celiabentleyot @AmyStringerOT We can but hope #OTalk! |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @PaulSugarhood @celiabentleyOT I do sometimes check PT notes... since our goal is to minimize discrepancies with PT. #otalk |
| Paul Sugarhood @paulsugarhood @BillWongOT @kerri_schOT @AmyStringerOT How do you work around the systems when they don't do what you want, or not working at all? #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot RT @ChloeWoodleyOT: I found electronic good on placement as I could write my own notes as a draft on the system, before my educator read &… |
| Amy Stringer @amystringerot Perhaps there may be a generational difference in terms of preference for e-records vs paper records as well? #OTalk |
| OTalk @otalk_ RT @PaulSugarhood: @BillWongOT @kerri_schOT @AmyStringerOT How do you work around the systems when they don't do what you want, or not work… |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schot @PaulSugarhood @BillWongOT @AmyStringerOT do you have to revert to hand written notes until the system is back up and running? #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @PaulSugarhood @kerri_schOT @AmyStringerOT Good thing I have a PC laptop... so charting at home is always an option. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @kerri_schOT @PaulSugarhood @AmyStringerOT We can't. All we can do is wait til when it is up again. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @AmyStringerOT In some cases, actually can also be administrative. #otalk |
 | Emma Hall @emm_ot @celiabentleyOT We have recently gone electronic and sadly out notes still overlooked #otalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schot @BillWongOT @PaulSugarhood @AmyStringerOT bet that is a waste of your time and you have a back-long when it's back up and running? #otalk |
| Paul Sugarhood @paulsugarhood RT @Emm_OT: @celiabentleyOT We have recently gone electronic and sadly out notes still overlooked #otalk |
| Amy Stringer @amystringerot @PaulSugarhood @BillWongOT @kerri_schOT Call I.T, cross your fingers and make some notes to jog your memory when it's back up and running! (We have awesome IT peeps) #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @kerri_schOT @PaulSugarhood @AmyStringerOT If you know you have lots of reports due that day, that will be a nightmare from hell waiting for you. #otalk |
| Paul Sugarhood @paulsugarhood Q4: What are impacts of digital records on communication and collaboration between different health and social care professionals? #otalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schot @celiabentleyOT we have specific therapy sections and medical sections in our notes so I find that helps them not get overlooked #otalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schot RT @BillWongOT: @kerri_schOT @PaulSugarhood @AmyStringerOT If you know you have lots of reports due that day, that will be a nightm… |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @PaulSugarhood In my setting, not too much difference. #otalk |
| Amy Stringer @amystringerot @BillWongOT @kerri_schOT @PaulSugarhood In my opinion it's no less of an annoyance to be running around a ward wasting time trying to find a patient folder #OTalk |
| OTalk @otalk_ #OTalk Q4. https://t.co/zDlNM322fA |
| Amy Stringer @amystringerot @BillWongOT @kerri_schOT @PaulSugarhood Also in terms of reports you can write it in a word document, save it and upload it later on #OTalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schot @AmyStringerOT @BillWongOT @PaulSugarhood true.. if i can't find some notes I start on a new sheet and slot it in when I can find the notes #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @AmyStringerOT @kerri_schOT @PaulSugarhood I think it depends on setting. I remembered I was given some IEP templates from school based placement. #otalk |
| Chloe Woodley @chloewoodleyot @kerri_schOT @celiabentleyOT That sounds really helpful! #OTalk |
| Celia Bentley @celiabentleyot @PaulSugarhood I suppose you could argue paper notes increase communication between staff as you are looking for files etc! #OTalk |
 | Kerry Pace @diverselearners @chungsongyau Executive Function also a term used as a way to show and measure challenges people who have #dyspraxia #DCD (like me) have #OTalk |
| OTalk @otalk_ #OTalk https://t.co/8UmVcAr9dD |
| Paul Sugarhood @paulsugarhood @celiabentleyOT So does that mean collaboration is not helped by digital accessibility? #otalk |
| Amy Stringer @amystringerot @PaulSugarhood it's amazing!! easily labelled electronic notes, quick to access, can check nursing notes before a wash+dress session #OTalk |
| OTalk @otalk_ RT @PaulSugarhood: @celiabentleyOT So does that mean collaboration is not helped by digital accessibility? #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @AmyStringerOT @kerri_schOT @PaulSugarhood Or in some cases, you just modified a little bit from old reports for same patient. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot RT @AmyStringerOT: @PaulSugarhood it's amazing!! easily labelled electronic notes, quick to access, can check nursing notes before a wash+d… |
| Paul Sugarhood @paulsugarhood @AmyStringerOT Sounds like very effective use of digital system #otalk |
| charlotte dunkley @charldunkley @PaulSugarhood @OTalk_ @BillWongOT @kerri_schOT @AmyStringerOT Very true, spending time finding notes or writing on extra continuation sheets is a daily routine #OTalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schot RT @CharlDunkley: @PaulSugarhood @OTalk_ @BillWongOT @kerri_schOT @AmyStringerOT Very true, spending time finding notes or writing on… |
| Amy Stringer @amystringerot @PaulSugarhood in longer term rehab the notes add up,so checking electronically saves time, just click on the date from months before #OTalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schot i've done this before and forgot to change words from he to she or other way round 🙈 #otalk https://t.co/ZqoxKLtvrp |
| Paul Sugarhood @paulsugarhood Q4 update: does anyone use digital records to find out what is happening to a patient/client in another service or organisation? #otalk |
| Celia Bentley @celiabentleyot @PaulSugarhood Maybe. when I was on placement where digital notes were used- we all went back to our desks & wrote up with minimal verbal discussion #OTalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schot @ChloeWoodleyOT @celiabentleyOT and the therapy section is in green so I always know where to look haha #otalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schot RT @AmyStringerOT: @BillWongOT @kerri_schOT @PaulSugarhood Also in terms of reports you can write it in a word document, save it and upload… |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot Hahahaha! An #otnottop10 moment. #otalk https://t.co/l8wYatCIqG |
| Susan Windeatt @mooartdotcom @PaulSugarhood Q4 This was a very useful option in my community role #OTalk https://t.co/5sGg3xo92D |

| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schot @BillWongOT haha not my finest moment #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @kerri_schOT @ChloeWoodleyOT @celiabentleyOT Well- back in the old days, PT is white, OT is blue, and ST is purple. #otalk |
| Paul Sugarhood @paulsugarhood @mooartdotcom Did you have access to others' notes? Read only maybe? #otalk |
 | Emma Cavanagh @emmaotstudent Q4 I think all professionals working from the same system would work better! Not always the case #OTALK |
| Paul Sugarhood @paulsugarhood RT @EmmaOTstudent: Q4 I think all professionals working from the same system would work better! Not always the case #OTALK |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @kerri_schOT I created that hashtag so that students know that sometimes even qualified OT's can be human, too! 😂 #otalk |
| Paul Sugarhood @paulsugarhood @EmmaOTstudent Interesting. In the UK, the aim is for all records to be digital, real-time and interoperable by 2020? Realistic? #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @PaulSugarhood Very rarely! But if I know it is a facility I had been to before (even for a day), I may check. #otalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schot haha great idea #otalk https://t.co/GIuiFMxuKn |
| Amy Stringer @amystringerot @PaulSugarhood Yes, for example following up with a wheelchair service who also have access to the same electronic system #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @celiabentleyOT @kerri_schOT @ChloeWoodleyOT Try being at 35 such facilities, each facility might be a bit different in terms of paper stuff! #otalk |
| Paul Sugarhood @paulsugarhood Q5: final question. What do we need to do moving forwards? Can we shape digital records, or are they shaping us? #otalk |
| Susan Windeatt @mooartdotcom @PaulSugarhood #OTalk Yes, able to read (read only) digital notes from most community services e.g. GP, DNs, community therapy services etc. https://t.co/zyvKl4J8mU |
| Chloe Woodley @chloewoodleyot @PaulSugarhood On my mental health placement, you used the same system to read/write notes from the CMHT & inpatient wards #OTalk |
| Helen OTUK @helen_otuk #OTalk Q5 https://t.co/afMVl8faFj |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @PaulSugarhood @mooartdotcom In my case, sometimes that can be complete rehab notes... if it's from a facility I am familiar. #otalk |
| Amy Stringer @amystringerot Just out of curiosity, which do people prefer overall? Knowing that there are clearly pros and cons for both #OTalk |
| Paul Sugarhood @paulsugarhood @mooartdotcom Great! Any luck with local authority and social services records e.g. care packages, major adaptations? #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @PaulSugarhood When we are working in a rehab team, communication is still key- no matter you are full time, part time, or just helping out! #otalk |
| Susan Windeatt @mooartdotcom @PaulSugarhood #OTalk Not so far! :-D https://t.co/4XFgEbi98u |
| Celia Bentley @celiabentleyot #OTalk another challenge w both forms of notes is the abbreviations used by diff staff! I felt like it was a foreign language at first! |
| Paul Sugarhood @paulsugarhood @BillWongOT So, the technology does not stand alone. It is part of a human network! #otalk |
| OTalk @otalk_ Only 5 minutes of the official hour left folks.... #OTalk |
| Amy Stringer @amystringerot Also, do ya'll realise how many trees we would be saving by everyone going electronic!? #TreeHugger #OTGreen #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @PaulSugarhood And if you are helping out one time or occasionally, sometimes it's better to be cautious with electronic records. #otalk |
| OTalk @otalk_ RT @PaulSugarhood: @BillWongOT So, the technology does not stand alone. It is part of a human network! #otalk |
| Chloe Woodley @chloewoodleyot Completely agree! And abbreviations used between services is even worse #OTalk https://t.co/avwBPrQrgL |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @PaulSugarhood Yes- because sometimes all it takes is one bad note in our setting to set chain reaction. #otalk |
| charlotte dunkley @charldunkley @PaulSugarhood @OTalk_ Having awareness of patient needs/involvement in other areas would be great and would provide an improved patient journey/experience #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @PaulSugarhood And it's tough when a therapist all of a sudden drops the patient's performance by multiple levels. #otalk |
| Paul Sugarhood @paulsugarhood @CharlDunkley Absolutely. Why does this not happen more? #otalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @CharlDunkley @PaulSugarhood @OTalk_ And along the same lines, all are responsible to see if patient is progressing appropriately. #otalk |
| Kerry Pace @diverselearners @PaulSugarhood @EmmaOTstudent Major issues with wifi in healthcare settings can limit operability Accessibility MUST be built-in ensuring equality + all can use #Otalk |
| Amy Stringer @amystringerot Keep an open mind to change, have well supported transitions with effective leadership, have back-up plans! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @EmmaOTstudent @PaulSugarhood That's one downside of the documentation program we are using. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot RT @AmyStringerOT: Keep an open mind to change, have well supported transitions with effective leadership, have back-up plans! #OTalk |
| Paul Sugarhood @paulsugarhood So, we seem to be a long way from fully interoperable and accessible records. Any final thoughts? #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @AmyStringerOT And also communication too. I always encourage my assistants to talk to me about patient progress. #otalk |
| OTalk @otalk_ Thanks to @PaulSugarhood for hosting this evening. Lots to think about. @Helen_OTUK signing off the account now. But do keep chatting #OTalk |
| OTalk @otalk_ RT @PaulSugarhood: So, we seem to be a long way from fully interoperable and accessible records. Any final thoughts? #otalk |
| charlotte dunkley @charldunkley @PaulSugarhood With paper records it's not always easy to find the information needed #OTalk |
| Paul Sugarhood @paulsugarhood Thank you everyone for participating. A lot of interesting insights! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @PaulSugarhood If you constantly move around in terms of workplaces, talk with others FIRST so that it decreases likelihood of messing up. #otalk |
| Celia Bentley @celiabentleyot @PaulSugarhood I think if there was more respect for other professionals and services there may be a way of making the electronic system work. #OTalk |

| Chloe Woodley @chloewoodleyot With technological advances, digital notes will become more popular, so being open to change & not forgetting to chat with MDT too! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTRL @billwongot @PaulSugarhood And if you are working with a team, make sure everyone has time to document. Hogging computer is not good. #otalk |

| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schot @BillWongOT @PaulSugarhood couldn't agree more #otalk |
 | Sadie Blue @sadieblueot @PaulSugarhood @OTalk_ I work in a Crisis House and use a system which is accessible to all NHS mental health profs in my area. It's invaluable #OTalk |

| Chloe Woodley @chloewoodleyot Thanks for a great chat, something we all need to consider! #OTalk https://t.co/K82WZiDqgh |
| Kerry Pace @diverselearners @PaulSugarhood Need to be accessible for all workers to make sure those who have disabilities can use assistive software with digital records #Otalk |
| Celia Bentley @celiabentleyot 3 weeks into my 1st graduate job & I feel able to make worthy contributions to #OTalk. & managed to keep up with it! Thanks ladies & gents! |
| Paul Sugarhood @paulsugarhood @SadieBlueOT When digital systems are implemented well in a setting, they are as you say invaluable! Why does not happen more? #otalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schot @celiabentleyOT absolutely!! it's like decoding, even though saves time when writing/typing.. can take longer to understand #otalk |

| Sadie Blue @sadieblueot @PaulSugarhood For me it's recording goals & identifying activities which can be used by CMHT upon discharge from crisis service. #OTalk |
| Paul Sugarhood @paulsugarhood @SadieBlueOT So it's a living thing, helping practice, not just a receptacle for data! #otalk |
| Paul Sugarhood @paulsugarhood @EmmaOTstudent #OTalk The digital utopia of the future, where it always will be? |
| Sadie Blue @sadieblueot @PaulSugarhood In community MH its so important as we are not a part of their MDT meetings. The work I do in crisis can be continued in community #OTalk |
