Please update your RDS mobile app to version 4.7.1

We are pleased to advise that deep linking capability, enabling users to directly download individual mobile toolkits, has now been released on the RDS mobile app. When you install the update, you will see that each toolkit has a small QR code icon the header area beside the search icon – see screenshot below. Clicking on this icon will open up a window with a full-size QR code and the alternative of a short URL for sharing with users. Instructions are provided.

You may need to actively install the update to install RDS app version 4.7.1 to see this improvement. Installing this update is also strongly recommended to get the full benefits of the new contingency arrangements – specifically, that if the RDS website should fail, you will still be able to download new mobile app toolkits.

To check your current RDS version, click on the three dots bottom right of the RDS app screen. This takes you to a “More” page where you will see the version number. To install latest updates:

On iPhones – go to the Apple store, click on your profile icon top right, scroll down to see the apps waiting to be updated and update the RDS app.

On Android phones – these can vary, but try going to the Google Play store, click on your profile icon top right, click on “Manage apps and device”, select and update the RDS app.

Please get in touch with ann.wales3@nhs.scot with any questions.

The Right Decision Service has a built-in Question & Answer Pathway Builder functionality that can be used to create:

Interactive pathways comprising questions and criteria that guide users down the appropriate route of a decision tree. An example is the frailty screening pathway used in the NHS Forth Valley Flow Navigation Hub.
Interactive scoring tools that provide scores based on validated risk criteria for example, the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Score.
interactive quizzes to check learning. All of the learning quizzes in this toolkit have been created using this feature.

Users can download a record of their responses as a PDF file or copy and paste into Word.

Note

The RDS does not store or process any person-identifiable information.

A learning resource on using the Q&A pathway builder is under development. In the meantime, a user guide can be downloaded here.
