Where to add DNACPR information
You can add DNACPR-specific information under the Do Not Attempt Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (DNACPR) section of this page including where it is kept.
*DNACPR stands for Do Not Attempt Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. It means that your client has stipulated that they do not want to have cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). If something serious happens, they’d rather let nature take its course. If your client has opted for a DNAR order, as a healthcare professional, you must follow their wishes in all circumstances.
How to add a Power of Attorney
You can add Power of Attorney details under the Health and Welfare LPA and Property and Financial Affairs LPA sections. This is where you can mention whether your Client has the capacity to make their own decisions and if they have a legal power of attorney for their health and well-being.
If your Client has a lasting power of attorney for Health and Welfare, you can add their contact details in the Key contact/NOK section.
You can also add them to the Care circle so that they can receive real-time updates. For more information on how to do this, see this article - How to invite members to the Care Circle.
