=== Counting Date Tracker ===
One of the reasons some people keep paper is that they track on paper when they have last looked at labs etc so they know where to count from next time they review the chart. At some locations people put ticks in the charts to note how far they have collected, but at other locations that isn't done. I am not sure why...
I have had a suggestion that adding date/time fields to the program that would set to "now" upon double-clicking them would mean one more thing tracked in the .mdb rather than on paper. These fields would not be mandatory and they would not be sent in, they would just be for your own use.
Suggested date/times were:
*LAST COUNTED LABS
*LAST COUNTED EKG
*LAST COUNTED CXR
*LAST COUNTED PHARM
*CHART REVIEWED
==== Usefulness? ====
{{Discussion}}
* Would your location use this or do you put checks on charts? Or, do you have an entirely different way you keep track of this?
**I might use this but I put ticks in the chart so I know which labs I have counted.--[[User:MWaschuk|MWaschuk]] 17:43, 9 June 2010 (CDT)
** We would not use this at STB because we utilize electronic chart to count labs at the end of a patient stay.  --[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 14:56, 10 June 2010 (CDT)
*** Laura, this is not just for Labs, do you get the other fields out of the electronic chart as well? [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 15:37, 22 October 2010 (CDT)
==== Any problems/disadvantages implementing this? ====
{{Discussion}}
Trish (or anyone): Can you see any concerns if this were implemented? Would we automate something that could be done easier, or maybe doesn't need to be done at all? Any thoughts along that line? [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 15:37, 22 October 2010 (CDT)
