Accessing CDRC Resources on SystmOne
To use these resources in SystmOne, you will need access to the CDRC resources through the DCS Organisation Group.
If you do not currently have access, please follow the instructions on the CDRC SystmOne Access webpage.
Once access has been enabled, the reports can be found in the relevant CDRC folders and the templates can be opened from within the patient record.
Clinical Reports
The CDRC Safeguarding clinical reports are organised into four sections:
- Safeguarding Registers
- Safeguarding Review
- Safeguarding Casefinding
- Safeguarding Registration and Deduction
CDRC’s Reports can be accessed in SystmOne Clinical Reporting from: CDRC > Safeguarding
1. Safeguarding Register
The Safeguarding Register reports provide structured views of adults with relevant safeguarding or vulnerability information recorded in SystmOne.
2. Safeguarding Review
The Safeguarding Review reports identify adults with recorded safeguarding concerns whose review arrangements or recent activity may require attention. These reports can support recall management, multidisciplinary review and systematic follow-up of adults already known to the practice safeguarding system.
3. Safeguarding Casefinding
The Safeguarding Casefinding reports identify adults who have relevant MARAC, MAPPA or domestic violence incident information recorded but do not have another relevant safeguarding code identified by the report.
Important: Inclusion in a casefinding report does not confirm that an adult safeguarding concern is present and should not automatically result in the addition of a safeguarding status.
4. Safeguarding Registration and Deduction
The Safeguarding Registration and Deduction reports identify adults with recorded safeguarding concerns who have recently joined or left the practice.
Patient Status Alerts
CDRC Patient Status Alerts are not activated automatically when an organisation joins the DCS Organisation Group. This allows each organisation to retain control over its local SystmOne configuration.
To request activation:
- Email contact-cdrc@healthinnovationnenc.org.uk
- Request activation of the CDRC Safeguarding Patient Status Alert.
- A member of the CDRC team will support the organisation through the activation process.
Once activated, the Safeguarding PSA appears to make relevant safeguarding information more visible when a child’s record is accessed.
An alert should be treated as a prompt to review relevant information. It should not be interpreted in isolation or regarded as a complete account of the child’s circumstances.
The available PSA are:
When the relevant patient’s record is retrieved, once of the aforementioned PSAs will be shown. Clicking on the icon will direct you to the Safeguarding Adult CDRC Template as shown below.
