Risks Enhancements

This article features how risk is captured, managed and reported during the referral process.

Written by Connor Baeza

We are excited to introduce a powerful new feature that enhances how risk is captured and reported within the referral process.
​
As referrals in social prescribing become increasingly complex, it's important to support teams in identifying and managing potential risks. In response to customer feedback, we’ve added the ability to enable a reportable risk dropdown within the referral form.


Key Highlights:

  • Optional Activation: Projects can now choose to switch on a risk dropdown field in the referral form.

  • Replaces Free Text: When enabled, this dropdown replaces the previous free-text risk field, ensuring more structured and consistent data collection.

  • Mandatory Selection: The dropdown can be configured as a mandatory field, requiring referral agents to explicitly select either "Risk" or "No Risk" before submitting a referral.

  • Customisable Options: Organisations can define their own risk categories, allowing the dropdown to reflect local policies or specific risk indicators.

  • Enhanced Reporting: Users can now also report on these risks across multiple reports within the platform, including the Activity Report and the Case Management Report.
    ​

This enhancement helps ensure that risk is clearly recorded, easily reviewed, and effectively reported as part of the referral process.


Setup Instructions


​Step 1: Enable Risk Enhancements

  • Contact Technical Support: Reach out to technical support to enable the Risk Enhancements feature for your project.

Step 2: Configure Risk Dropdown

  • Customise Risk Options: Work with technical support to define the list of risk categories that will appear in the dropdown. These can reflect local policies or specific risk indicators.

  • Set Mandatory Option (Optional): Choose whether the risk dropdown should be mandatory. If enabled, referral agents must select either "Risk" or "No Risk" before submitting a referral.

📌Note: Enabling this feature will replace the existing free-text/quick-select risk field in the referral form. Previously captured risks will still appear in the client’s case details.


Using Risk Enhancements

For Referral Agents:

  • Access Referral Form: Navigate to the referral form when creating a new referral.

  • Select Risk(s): Use the new dropdown to select one or more applicable risks. If no risks are identified, select "No Risk".

  • Mandatory Completion: If configured as mandatory, the referral cannot be submitted until a risk selection is made.

  • Submit Referral: Once submitted, the selected risks will automatically carry over to the client’s case details.

For Reporting Users:

  • Access Reports: Navigate to the Activity Report or Case Management Report.

  • View Risk Data: Risk selections made during referrals will now be available for reporting, enabling better visibility and analysis of client risk trends.
