It is recommend your service has a unit-wide default filter set that will apply to staff. This does not prevent them switching filter when required.

The Clinical Systems team recommends this excludes the following; this is intended for general record access and does not prevent those that interrogate records regarding data/troubleshooting from switching to a different filter when required.

1. Coded entries from templates
2. Deleted items (Marked in error items)
3. Blank entries

A note on 'Marked in error items'

If your organisation is concerned about staff seeing 'Marked in error' items in the Journal; please ensure you have completed the above for all staff and that your service Care ID ("smartcard") positions are configured appropriately - ensure staff that do not require this access to marked in error items cannot see them. Service sponsors can view Care ID positions in Care Identity Management and discuss any changes with the Registration Authority.

What about 'New Journal'?

Tabbed Journal was released in 2012. Please cease using the 'New (Old) Journal' - it lacks support for centralised configuration (filters/tabs) and pagination. Both make viewing the record considerably faster and ensure the Tabbed Journal is pre-configured for new staff. The 'New (Old) Journal' requires more configuration by service leads and each service user.
