We have parameters set to 50% before, 50% after, and 90 Minutes.  Then we do a 
lot of individual settings for specific interventions.  

For example, if vitals are not changed to 10 Minutes out of range, if you have 
vitals scheduled every 15 minutes, documening the very first one (where the 50% 
can't be calculated by the system), the 90 minute setting will remove 1 ½ hrs 
worth of "Next Due" vital signs intervention flags!

Likewise, we changed our Before setting to a very small number on our shift 
physical assessment intervention. If left at 50% before, a nurse documenting 
the patient assessment for a new admission in the second half of the shift or a 
reassessment for an existing patient would cause the next shift's "Next 
Intervention" flag to disappear.

Good luck,
Kenny Whiteside
