Following last month’s changes in Cerner EPR, a reminder that there is new enhanced visibility of Child Protection Information Sharing (CPIS).

In summary:

There is no change in process of CPIS but the visibility is enhanced.

There is an addition to the banner bar CPIS status with three possible options:

  1. Not Performed - the system has been unable to connect to the Spine and pull back CPIS/Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) data
  2. Yes - There has been a CPIS result pulled from Spine (the user can click yes to see the information)
  3. No - There has not been a CPIS result pulled from Spine

The information also now forms part of the Clinician Workflow and any information available in terms of Child Protection and / or FGM is visible in the record.
