If you schedule (frequency/directions) the interventions for the next time they are due then you won't have a whole lot of red interventions. For example: the shift has directions of 08,16,00 - schedule the other interventions (like mini assessments if needed) for 12, 20, 04. We have the nurses make the decisions for assigning frequencies... I prefer to get the nursing staff to document as much as they can on the shift assessment although I did not put the assessment of wounds or iv's on the shift. So for the day shift as simplistic example would be that the 0800 interventions due are shift, iv, vs (as assistants do these), and weight. Then nurses usually do their medications (0900). At 1000 would be treatments then at noon mini assessments and at 1400 i/o's, patient activity.

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?
