Evo Researcher condenses a service user's records into a summary that suits the person reading it, so you can understand their current situation quickly. The summary can be drawn from their Access Point of Care records, the documents you upload, or both.
This section explains what you can create, how the summary protects accuracy, and what to check before you use it.
What you can create
Evo Researcher can produce summaries for several purposes, including:
A shift handover brief.
An MDT summary.
A trend analysis over a chosen period, for example mood and behaviour.
A formal response to a local authority request.
Evo Researcher works out who the summary is for and writes to suit that reader. A shift handover brief is short and practical for care workers. A formal response to a local authority request is numbered and written in a formal tone.
đNote: For formal outputs, Evo Researcher asks you to confirm the audience and purpose before it writes the summary.
You can choose Markdown, HTML or PDF as the format for your summary.
How the summary protects accuracy
Each summary is built to make its limits clear. Evo Researcher:
States the date range of the records it used.
Warns you if the most recent record is more than 90 days old.
Flags conflicting information between records, rather than choosing one.
Marks blank or incomplete fields as unconfirmed, rather than treating them as a no.
Ends with a source note that lists the records it used and any limitations.
Safeguarding alerts
If Evo Researcher finds possible safeguarding indicators, it places an alert at the top of the summary and pauses until you confirm you have seen it. Indicators include:
Unexplained injuries.
Missed medication over several days.
Expressions of self-harm.
â ď¸Important: Do not continue past a safeguarding alert until you have seen it and confirmed that you have.
Check the summary before you use it
A summary is not a clinical decision tool. Always check it against the original records before you use it in formal proceedings.
â ď¸Warning: Do not rely on a summary alone for clinical decisions or formal proceedings.
Who this is for
This is for care workers, senior carers, team leaders and registered managers who need to understand a service user's current situation quickly.
Why it helps
Records that would take time to read through are condensed into a summary suited to the reader. Conflicts, gaps and safeguarding concerns are made visible rather than left buried in the records. You can also produce documentation needed for local authorities or data access requests.
