Fast Track

User Guide

Introduction

Any authorised healthcare professional is able to use Digital CHC to enter the patient data required by the existing paper-based Fast Track Pathway Tool.

Once signed in, you will be able to click on the “New” button on the right-hand side of the screen which allows you to complete a new digital Fast Track form.

This will present the first page of the digital Fast Track form “About the patient”:

Once the patient’s details have been recorded, click on the “Next” button at the bottom of the page and this will take you to the “Equality” page. Data from the patient’s details will be used to pre-populate the first two questions on this page. All other fields can be manually completed.

Click on the “Next button” and this will move you on to the “Documents” page where you have the ability to upload and attach any supporting documents e.g. consent form, nursing assessment etc.

The first time you use the digital Fast Track form you may have to allow “pop-up blockers” which will appear as an icon in the toolbar of your browser.

Once you have uploaded any documents, click on the “Next” button in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen and you will be taken to the “Recommendation” page:

If you are completing the digital Fast Track form on behalf of a referring clinician, you can answer “No” to the question “Are you the referring clinician?”. This will then present fields for you to record details of the referring clinician. You must also answer the question “Use as referring clinician in PDF?” so you can record if their details should appear as the “referring clinician” and not yours.

These fields are not presented when the answer is “Yes” to the question.

You must complete all fields on the “Recommendation” page. Once all fields have been completed you must click on the “Submit” button at the bottom of the page:

Once the digital Fast Track form has been submitted you will be presented with a screen that allows you to click on a button to download a PDF copy of the Fast Track Pathway Tool:

You will also receive an email confirming that the digital Fast Track form has been submitted to the ICB that will contain a unique reference number.
