vacation coverage
Vacation relief
- for Elaine, coverage is for E6 and B5
- for Debbie, coverage is for E5
- Is any of this different from Vacation and staff shortage collection priorities? Should it be? Ttenbergen 18:35, 2016 November 10 (CST)
For those collectors who are doing vacation relief for the regular collectors who are away, catch up from time off can be expedited for the returning collector if the following things are prioritized.
- do Overstay Predictor Project (OPP) and color generation. ADL's are a component of the OPP and can be found on the STB Electronic Patient Record. They are in "initial assessment" form under the documents tab. Everything needed for minimal data will be included if the opp is done.
- medicine apache score. The SBGH ER unit is online with their vital signs and neuro assessment. This means that the vital signs and gcs required for the apache score can now be found under the flow sheets tab. To access neuro check, click on flow sheets, then care and assessment, then neuro. The only exception to this is for patients admitted to the unit from MICU. MICU does not use epr (electronic patient record) for vital signs, and hence apache for these patients still need to be obtained from the paper flow sheet in the chart.
The only things that need to be taken from the paper chart are the dpst info. If the OPP is kept current and up to date then charts would not have to be pulled from medical records by the person returning from vacation. This would help tremendously in catching up from time off for the returning collector.DPageNewton 14:40, 2013 February 20 (EST)
items not yet on electronic chart
Overstay Project
SBGH has now gone to paperless charting or STB Electronic Patient Record. This means that we can now review almost the entire chart on the computer. The exceptions to this are:
- the DPST Form. The information found on this form is one part of the information we need for the overstay predictor project (opp).
- The DPST is not being completed on E5 for the last few months. Need to see if the overstay program will be continued or not.--LKolesar 13:28, 2017 February 6 (CST)
APACHE tab
To collect the elements of the MOST score, on the Apache tab:
- for patient who come from MICU , look on the the MICU flow sheet
- for all other patient use EPR vital signs
Lab results
Lab results are now entirely online in the epr.
