Function documentationCreate a Nursing Service

 

The nursing service entry function supports the nursing process documentation and enables the execution certificate for nursing services which you have planned for a patient during nursing planning.

You can use the Create Nursing Services function to provide the prerequisite for entering and processing nursing services in the processing dialog. For more information about this, see Process a Nursing Service.

Prerequisites

The OU parameter N1PMN must be set in order for you to be able to create nursing services. You can find information on this under System Parameters for Nursing Process Documentation.

Features

Nursing services are generally created as caseless and also receive no case reference when you perform or release the service. You can create nursing services in the system in various ways:

  • Generation from the Nursing Plan

    When the nursing plan is updated the system generates the nursing services of the nursing procedures determined in the nursing plan, taking into account the assign cycle. The service inherits all properties of a nursing procedure. You can subsequently adapt these properties.

    You can find information on nursing plans under Nursing Planning in Nursing Process Documentation.

  • Manual Creation in the Nursing Plan

    You can manually create nursing services in addition to the nursing services generated in the nursing plan. The system displays the services on a separate tab page in the detail area of the procedure.

    You can find information on this in the documentation on the nursing plans under Creating an Item.

  • Subsequent Entry in the Clinical Work Station

    You can use this function to create nursing services with the status Performed or Released for the nursing service documentation in the processing dialog. The function is available in the clinical work station in the Arrivals, Departures, Occupancy, Outpatient Clinic/Service Facility, and Medication Events/ Nursing Services view types.

    For more information about this, see Process a Nursing Service.

  • Planning Nursing Services in the Clinical Work Station

    You can use this function to create nursing services with the status Ordered for the nursing service documentation in the processing dialog. The function is available in the clinical work station in the Arrivals, Departures, Occupancy, Outpatient Clinic/Service Facility, and Medication Events/ Nursing Services view types.

You can use the Business Add-In (BAdI) Services: Create Services (ISHMED_CREATE_SRV) to define presettings for creating nursing services. For example, you can determine the date and time for planned services according to customer-specific rules.

For more information, see the BAdI documentation.
