We are just two weeks live with NUR documentation, so I can't offer a proven solution. We ran into that issue on several fronts. As we built our screens and interventions, Nursing wanted to combine a lot of things together to minimize the number of interventions that need documenting. But if a certain system needs documentation more than once a shift on a patient, you are stuck with that intervention going undocumented for the occurence that's done on the shift assessment. To a certain extent we had/have the same problem with the several assessments that make up Admission. For example admission vital signs -- because they are in an admission intervention, the first Vital Signs scheduled doc doesn't get ticked off. We've already done some unbundling of Admission before we went live. We are probably going to unbundle a bit more and put it all into an intervention set; and then we'll just have to work on avoiding duplicates from OE. For the Shift Assessment -- Nursing is (quite understandably) still committed to an identifiable, thorough intervention by that name so we haven't sorted it out yet. I'll be watching for ideas! By the way we decided not to start out with Next Due on the Status Board, because of issues with this. The Status Board is still a great asset even without using Next Due Linda Bulger, System Analyst Franklin Memorial Hospital Farmington, ME 04938 -----Original Message----- From: Brian Golden [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 19, 2006 12:51 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [MEDITECH-L] attribute to document a new intervention - help with status board All messages should be posted in plain text. HTML will be converted to attachments. The meditech-l web site is MTUsers.com ====================================== Does anyone have an attribute that opens a new intervention and allows the user to document it? This could be an alternative to "pop up" boxes. We have avoided using pop ups by adding the questions to a new "page" of the CDS, and skipping them (with attributes) if not applicable. This has worked well, until we started using the Status Board. Our "Shift Assessment" intervention CDS has nearly 1,000 queries on it. Most queries are on individual interventions as well (i.e. Skin Assessment, IV, WOUND, Patient Teaching, etc.) But, when we document the queries on the Shift Assessment, the individual interventions are still "DUE" on the status board. What we are thinking of is: Removing the queries from the Shift Assessment CDS and replacing them with one query (per individual intervention) that asks: "Document Skin Assessment" "Document Wounds" "Document...." A "Y" response would open up the individual intervention, document it, and file it, returning to the "Shift Assessment intervention each time. Any ideas?
