Introduction 

 

Certain fields on the risk forms can be renamed or have their visibility altered, enabling you to customise what information is captured when logging a risk and how that information is captured. Scroll down to see which fields can be customised

 

Customisable Fields

 

Below is a list of fields on the Risk Register which can be customised.

Key:

Optional - this means the field can be activated or deactivated by Radar Healthcare.

Help Text - this means text can be added to the field to explain its purpose to your system users.

An example of help text on a question

Rename - this means the name of the question can be retitled to suit your requirements.

At the bottom of this user guide is a spreadsheet you can use to decide on your Risk Register configuration.  Simply choose your configuration choices and send the spreadsheet to Radar Healthcare to make your required changes.

Customising the Risk Matrix and Risk Categories

 

The Risk Matrix

  • The Risk Matrix can be adapted by yourselves at any time.  You do not need Radar Healthcare to adapt this.

 

  • It is a single Risk Matrix which is used across the Risk module and the Event module.

 

  • You are able to reword the risk matrix descriptions and the descriptions for the 1 to 5 scores.

 

 

Risk Categories

 

  • Risk are added to categories which you can use to filter and report on.

 

  • You can create and amend your own Risk Categories, without Radar Healthcare involvement.

 

 

 

Populating the Drop-down Lists

  • New custom lists have been created for these fields:
  1. Level of risk
  2. Objectives
  3. Monitoring Committee
  4. Overall Assurance

 

  • These lists can be updated in the Administration area of Radar Healthcare.  Go to Administration > Event and Risk > Custom Lists.  Use the Action option to add your Organisation’s relevant options.  For more information on editing custom lists please see our user guide.

 

Navigating to custom lists

 

  • By default, these lists will only show ‘Not Applicable’ as an answer:
