Height and weight

We are considering adding this to collection maybe later. this article is only a poll.

Template:Discussion - Question for collectors:

HSC_ICU

HSC_MICU_SICU - Out of the patients that I saw today (Feb 14.18),
- there were no entries for Ht or Wt in the EPR.
- The nutrition assessment sheets were filled out, and they had a height and a weight.
- Flow sheets also had weights, but no heights. p:Michelle Lagadia

Just want you to know that I looked at approx. 20 pts on two wards for their EPR ht and wt (apparently can be found under patient information tab). I got about 4 listed in EPR. The rest would (hopefully) live in the chart somewhere. - p:Constance_Marks
TEE reports/Nursing Admission Assessment Sheet(#NS00738)/Cardiac Investigation Request Form [Stress lab/MIBI/Nuclear Medicine](# NS00686)some are just the weights...IF filled in!--Llemoine 15:06, 2018 February 14 (CST)
Further to EPR, weights listed were many years old (ie. 2011, 2008, etc) with a few relatively current ones. I also noted that weights were eventually done on most of the patients eventually but not on admission for the most part.
Dietary consult sheet--Llemoine 15:06, 2018 February 16 (CST)

My patients ht and wt (if documented)are visible in the Data Entry box under the Patient Info on EPR. Will there be an option to record (not recorded) if the information is not available? - p:Marla Penner
Height weight and body surface area is found in EPR under patient information. If it is not there, it has not been done yet.--LKolesar 07:18, 2018 February 13 (CST)

We get it from the patient info tab on the epr. If it's not there it likely hasn't been done, because there is no place on the very limited patient paper chart to put it there.DPageNewton 07:11, 2018 February 13 (CST)
Height and weight is found in EPR under patient information tab, in the Data Entry box.ENagy 10:28, 2018 February 13 (CST)enagy

Random poll of 20 patients on EPR showed 11 out of 20 had weight entered=55% these were weights entered in other areas than ICU. The ICU staff do not use the EPR
bottom of flow sheet, often not there
White board in patients cubicle

On EPR under Patient Info tab often not completed
On the Clinical Data Sheet in the patient record, not always recorded
- EPR under Patient info /data Entry/ height and weight
  - 2 VGH clinical data sheet /ht and wt with daily VS//nursing assessment and handoff to inpatient unit part 1 nursing initial assessment with vs /bs/ ht/wt.
  - 3 VIC medicine and family medicine standing orders under general orders under vs, ht and wt on admission. These are all areas where you can find ht and wt but the issue is compliance I would say maybe ¼ of charts have that information Thanks p:Shirley Kiesman
