Parable supports the ability to edit properties of patient records, assessments, or their wound/lesion sites, as well as to move or merge wound/lesion sites and assessments between different patients.

On the Parable mobile app, only wound/lesion site properties may be edited. Full options for editing patients and cases are available on the Parable web app. Appropriate permissions may be required to edit particular patients or cases. The following matrix indicates which platforms support each action:

Note: All actions are captured in the relevant audit logs. 

Editing Patient Properties

To edit patient properties (e.g. name, medical record number, date of birth), navigate to the patient record on the Parable web app. All fields with a dotted line under them may be edited. Which fields are editable are determined on a per-organization basis.

Editing Wound/Lesion Site Properties

To edit wound/lesion site properties (e.g. site location, date of onset, etc), navigate to the patient record and select the site you’d like to edit. You may have to click on the “more ▾” button to view the wound/lesion site properties. There, you can edit any fields with dotted lines under them. Site fields and which site fields are editable are determined on a per-organization basis.

Moving and Merging Wound/Lesion Sites

Users with the appropriate permissions are also able to move and merge wound/lesion sites (if their organization is set up with moving/merging capability). 

• Moving allows authorized users to move a wound/lesion site from one patient record to another (for example, if a site was attributed to the incorrect patient).
• Merging allows authorized users to take all of the assessments associated with one wound/lesion site and associate them with another site (which may belong to another patient), and close out the source site in the process.

To move or merge wound/lesion sites, navigate to the patient record and select the wound/lesion site you’d like to move or merge. Click on the "Manage this site" gear icon on the top right of the screen, then select Move Site or Merge Site.

You will be presented with one of the dialogues below. Select the target patient (if Moving) or case (if Merging) and add a reason for the move or merge.

Tip: you can refine your Move or Merge search to find a specific wound site by typing in the patient name along with the wound type.  

Editing Assessments

Users with the appropriate permissions and whose organizations have this capability enabled can edit assessments after they’re submitted. To edit an assessment, navigate to the patient record, select the relevant site, and the assessment to edit. On the assessment details screen, click on the “Manage” button on the top right of the screen, and select Edit Assessment.

On the following screen, you will be able to edit assessment fields that are designated as editable. 

Which fields are editable are determined on a per-organization basis for each customized assessment protocol. Authorized organization representatives may contact Parable support to modify which fields are editable.

Moving and Deleting Assessments

Users with the appropriate permissions and whose organizations have this capability enabled can move and delete assessments.

• Moving allows authorized users to move an assessment from one site to another (which may belong to another patient). Users may want to do this if an assessment was done on an incorrect patient and/or site.
• Deleting allows authorized users to delete an assessment outright. 

To move or delete assessments, navigate to the patient record, select the relevant wound/lesion site, and the assessment to move or delete. On the assessment details screen, click on the “Manage” button on the top right of the screen, and select Move Assessment or Merge Assessment.

You will be presented with the dialogue below. Select the target case and add a reason for the move.¶
