Recording On-site Testing

This quick reference guide walks you through recording Onsite Testing in the Hepatitis C Teams tracking tools.

This tool should be used by all staff members whose work is reported in OCHART in order to track their activities and any outputs produced.

Activities and outputs should be recorded within 72 hours of completion or production.

Using this tool regularly will ensure that all your activities are recorded, added together and then automatically entered into OCHART each reporting period.

Tracking tool data will be extracted for reporting to OCHART every 6 months.

Enter an Activity Title that is meaningful to you, but does not contain any service user-specific information. This will help in identifying the activity when reviewing records.

Click into the Activity Date text box and use the calendar pop-out to record the date of the activity. The activity date will determine which reporting period an activity is reflected in. Please ensure that you record the date the activity took place, not the day which you recorded the activity.

Select 'Onsite testing at your main and satellite sites'. (Note: services sessions data can be entered into the tracking tool at the same time or can be recorded separately depending on your team's practices.)

Record the number of tests by sex/gender and type of test administered at your main and satellite site. Do not record any outreach tests in this area. There is a separate area in the HCV Outreach Tracking Tool for outreach testing. Only record testing here if it was conducted on-site at your main and satellite sites. Bulk data entry is permitted in this section.
