Calling Points of Nursing Plan

You can call nursing planning via the clinical work station or via the care unit work station. Depending on the value of the organizational unit-related parameter (OU parameter) N1PMN you can create, open and display nursing plans for the following components:

either only for the Nursing component or
only for the Nursing Process Documentation component or
for both components

Note that you can only create outpatient nursing plans for the nursing process documentation component.

Features

The following functions are available as pushbuttons for nursing planning in the clinical work station:

	Create Nursing Plan	Call Nursing Plan	Nursing Plan Overview
Medication Events/Nursing Services view type	X	X
Occupancy, Arrivals, Departures view types	X	X	X
Outpatient Clinic/Service Facility view type	X	X	X

In the Occupancy, Departures and Arrivals view types in the Nursing Plan Exists column the system uses an icon to indicate whether a currently valid nursing plan exists and what status it has. If you click on this column, the system will call different functions depending on the icon:

no icon
There are either no nursing plans or the existing nursing plans have ended. The system calls the Create Nursing Plan function.
Icon with quick info text Nursing Plan Exitsts and Completed or icon with quick info text Nursing Plan Exists but not yet Completed
The icon Nursing Plan Exists and Completed indicates that a currently valid nursing plan exists, which is updated for the current time.

The icon Nursing Plan Exists but not yet Completed indicates that a currently valid nursing plan exists, which has not yet been updated for the current time.

In both cases the system calls the Call Nursing Plan function.
Icon with quick info text NUrsing Plan to Transfer
This icon indicates that a currently valid nursing plan exists which you can transfer. See Transfer Nursing Plan to New Care Unit

Example
The care unit (ward) ZCHISTA2 has created a nursing plan. The patient has been transferred and is currently on care unit (ward) ZCHISTA1.

In the clinical work station of care unit ZCHISTA1 the system displays the Nursing Plan to Transfer icon for this patient. The care unit (ward) ZCHISTA1 can then see that there is already a currently valid nursing plan which it can transfer.

End of the example.

You can also call nursing planning via the care unit (ward) work station. The following criteria apply:

for the Create Nursing Plan function: The nursing plan is connected with a task as a Base Item with the initial action "Create“.
for the Call Nursing Plan function: The nursing plan is connected with a task as a documentation object.

Activities

Create Nursing Plan

You select a patient in a view of the clinical work station and choose Create Nursing Plan to create a new nursing plan for the selected patient and a nursing organizational unit (OU).
If there is either no nursing plan or the existing nursing plans have ended, the system opens the dialog for creating a nursing plan.

Example
If no employee responsible exists, the system opens a selection help. In this you select an employee responsible and then choose (Transfer).

End of the example.
In the subsequent processing dialog you enter the data necessary for the nursing plan. See Creating Blocks.

Call Nursing Plan

You select a patient in a view of the clinical work station and select Call Nursing Plan to open the currently valid nursing plan for the selected patient for display or processing. The system will check the following:

If there is not yet a nursing plan, the system calls the Create Nursing Plan function. You can find detailed information in this under Create Nursing Plan.
If there is a currently valid nursing plan, the system opens the dialog for processing a nursing plan.

Note
If the currently valid nursing plan was created by another (old) care unit (ward), following the transfer you, as the new care unit, can decide whether you wish to create a new nursing plan or use the nursing plan of the old care unit. See Transfer Nursing Plan to New Care Unit

End of the note.

Caution
The system locks the nursing plan which it opens. Other users can only open this in display mode.

End of the caution.

Nursing Plan Overview

You select a patient in a view of the clinical work station and choose Nursing Plan Overview.
The system opens a dialog box which displays all existing nursing plans of the selected patient, which are not canceled. The system sorts in descending order by the creation time of the nursing plan. This means that the system displays the nursing plan which was created last as the first entry.
The following functions are available in this dialog box:
- You select a nursing plan and then choose (Select).
  
  Note
  You can also execute this function by double-clicking on the desired nursing plan. The system opens the selected nursing plan. You can find detailed information of the further procedure under Call Nursing Plan.
  
  End of the note.
- You choose (Print) to print the nursing plan overview.
- You choose (Export) and in the subsequent drop-down menu select the target object to where you wish to export the nursing plan.
  
  Example
  If you select “Table Calculation” as the target object, the system exports the nursing plan overview into an Excel sheet.
  
  End of the example.
