We started out with 2 forms - one history and one admission assessment. It got to be confusing and redundant at times on the amount of questions. So we combined our forms into one assessment - Pt Admission and History. Now our policy says that LPN's can do admission assessments - due to the length of the form and time involved, but the RN is responsible for cosigning those assessment forms and verifying that information. Actually, most of our admission assessments are still done by the RN's. Ruth Chapman BSN, RN-BC
Nursing Analyst Central Michigan Community Hospital [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>> "Parker Karen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 8/3/2007 8:23 AM >>> Our LPN's document general information. They are not allowed to do the physical assessment. We have broken our assessment into two parts. Part one is done by the LPN this does not generate the careplan. Part two that is done by the RN is the one that generates the care plan. All of the answers that are on part one default into part two for the RN to review. If you want let me know and I will send you screen snap shots of our assessments.

McPherson Sent: Thursday, August 02, 2007 9:24 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [MEDITECH-L] query linking diagnosis to care plans frominterventions For those of you out there that use query links to add diagnosis to the care plan, how do you accomplish adding a care plan on the admission assessment by triggering diagnosis if the nurse is an LPN? Do you have an RN review the care plan chosen by the LPN and document a note, etc..? Maria P.
