Function documentationMedication Events/Nursing Services View Type

 

The Medication Events/Nursing Services view type in the clinical work station offers a joint view of the medication events and nursing services of a care unit.

You can use this view type for medication events and nursing services or only for one of these.

  • If, for example, you use the view type for nursing services only, only selection criteria, functions and fields which refer to nursing services are relevant to you.

  • If, for example, you use the view type for medication events only, only selection criteria, functions and fields which refer to medication events are relevant to you.

Caution Caution

The system does not automatically end medication orders when a discharge is documented. These orders remain valid in the system.

In the current case or in a possible future admission, nursing staff could administer a drug which is not intended from a medical point of view, which may cause contraindications.

Ensure that the Check Case Assignment of Order column is displayed in the Medication Events/Nursing Services view type in the clinical work station. If an order belongs to a case, which is already documented as "discharged", the column displays a warning icon with a quick info text.

We recommend that you end orders either manually or controlled by a report, when a patient is discharged. You should contact your project development partner regarding this.

End of the caution.
Nursing services

To get an overview of the nursing services for the patient to be treated at any time, you can configure specific worklists (views) in the Clinical Work Station using the Medication Events/Nursing Services view type.

Note Note

In the long-term the Medication Events/Nursing Services view type will replace the nursing overview. The Nursing Overview function is currently available in the Occupancy, Arrivals and Departures view types.

If you wish to replace the nursing overview with the Medication Events/Nursing Services view type now, you must remove the Nursing Overview from the above mentioned view types and create the corresponding views for the Medication Events/Nursing Services view type in your work environments.

You should note that the data in the view type can only be selected using the selection screen or selection variants. The user parameters of the nursing overview (e.g. OEE, LS4, etc.) are not therefore valid for the view type.

End of the note.
Medication Events

To get an overview of the medication events for the patient to be treated at your care unit or outpatient clinic at any time, you can configure specific worklists (views) in the clinical work station using the Medication Events/Nursing Services view type

The Medication Events/Nursing Services view type is a central tool for editing medication events. The view type is available for viewing all event information in one go and calling all available management and editing functions.

Note Note

If you select Replace Drug (Replace Drug), you can call the manual substitution for medication events. See Manual Substitution in Medication Events

Features

Selection Screen

System administrators can configure selection variants to provide the user with the following selection fields for the selection screen:

  • Institution

  • Maximum Number of Hits

  • Manual Input of Selection Criteria

    • Goal

      The system administrator wishes to define a view that users can use for making their own selections.

    • Example

      A ward manager wishes to create a view of various care units.

    • Method

      When the ward manger selects a view in the LaunchPad of the clinical work station, the system should not immediately compile the event list or the list of nursing services. The selection screen should appear for the ward manager to specify the OU to which the event or nursing service list is to relate.

    • Prerequisite

      When configuring a view, the system administrator creates a selection variant in which the Man. Entry Sel. indicator is set.

    • System Behavior

      When the user – in the present example, the ward manager – calls the view, the selection screen appears first. The selection data from the selection variant is displayed by default. The user can modify the selection data; for example, by selecting a different care unit. After changing the selection criteria you return to the view. The selections you have just made apply. These selections remain active throughout the session (in other words, for as long as you remain in the clinical work station). If you switch to a different view in the meantime, the settings remain in force.

      • Using Basic Settings (Basic Settings) you can reset the temporary changes for a view.

      • The next time you start the clinical work station, the default selections made by the system administrator for the view apply anew.

The selection screen also contains the following tab pages for restricting the selected data:

  • Event
