Patient Archival Process in Nikshay
Background Patient archival is a process wherein Presumptive Open and Presumptive closed, Patient records are moved from live to an archived Database. This helps in Nikshay database from getting overloaded and helps streamline staff work by not showing additional/irrelevant data.
Patient Archival Process Nikshay automatically archives Presumptive Open Patients in two steps: 1. Nikshay automatically finds all Presumptive Open patients who have not had any activity eg(adding tests, updating details, adding staff, transferring patient, updating beneficiary details etc. )for more than 60 days and closes these patients. 2. Nikshay automatically finds all Presumptive Closed patients who have not had any activity for more than 60 days and archives them by removing their data from Nikshay to a secondary database. This means that a presumptive open patient will not be archived until they have had no activity for 120 days and a presumptive closed patient will be archived after 60 days of no activity. Nikshay does not automatically archive any other types of patients.
Archived Patients Few properties of Archived Patients: ● Once a patient is archived, he/she will not be visible on Nikshay. ● Once a patient is archived, he/she will not show on Patient Search. ● Once a Patient is archived, he/she will show only on the following Nikshay Report Registers: ● ○ DMC Register ○ Deduplication Register ○ Enrollment Register ○ CDST Register ○ Deleted Patient Register ○ Presumptive Case Register Unarchiving of patients is not possible through Nikshay. To avoid archival, patients records must be kept updated.
