Nuisance Bleeding Scale Questionnaire

Nuisance bleeding is any bleeding that is considered to be a nuisance or annoyance rather than a medical emergency. This can include bleeding from minor cuts or scrapes, nosebleeds, or bleeding gums. While nuisance bleeding is not usually critical, it can be a sign of a more serious condition if it occurs frequently or is accompanied by other symptoms.

How it works​

The nuisance bleeding scale questionnaire is a quick and effective assessment tool for care teams. Patients answer a series of questions about their nuisance bleeding and answers are provided to care teams to help them provide appropriate and timely healthcare.

To start, patients select the Nuisance Bleeding Scale module and click Add. When they have answered all the questions, they will be assigned a score that is shared with their care team. From within the module, patients can view their progress in a graph and also access all their previous results. Daily, weekly, or monthly reminders can be set to help stay on track.

In the Huma Portal, care teams will see the latest Nuisance Bleeding score for their patient, with concerning scores flagged for attention. In the Patient Summary, care teams can view all historical data in graph or table form.

The nuisance bleeding scale questionnaire contains 24 questions:
