Flowsheet
Assemble a flowsheet specific to your needs by creating
flowsheet views and assigning them to a flowsheet. You use the flowsheet
to enter, edit, and view patient data.
Note: Predefined reports are based on one of the
predefined flowsheets. To create your own report layout, create a new
flowsheet for the report in CP Console. A report is verified against the
flowsheet definition that creates it.
General
Display Name: Display Name describes the flowsheet;
it appears as the title of the report.
Active: The flowsheet is active and available
in CP Flowsheets.
- Select the Active check box to make the flowsheet active and available.
- Clear the Active check box to inactivate the flowsheet.
Note: If the Active check box is not selected, the
flowsheet does not load and you cannot enter data. A pop-up appears to
indicate that the flowsheet is not active. The inactive flowsheet may
display in the report.
In the tree view, an active flowsheet displays a grid icon.
Comment: Optional – You can provide additional
information regarding the flowsheet.
TIU Note Title for reporting: Select a note title
to display in CPRS. Click in the box and type an alpha character, such
as c, t, or n, at which you want the list of note
titles to begin.
Flowsheet Tabs
Select the appropriate flowsheet tab (Pages or
Totals) to add and edit views or totals in the views you create
for particular flowsheets; remove views and totals from your flowsheets;
and arrange the order in which to display your views and totals on the
flowsheets.
Pages Tab
Select the Pages tab to add flowsheet views that you
can select for your flowsheet. The Page Name is the name of the flowsheet
view (observation) as it appears in the flowsheet and View (Type) indicates
whether the flowsheet view is mandatory, supplemental, or optional. You
can add, edit, and
remove the
flowsheet views, as well as change
the display order of the flowsheet views.
More information can be found in the Clinical Flowsheets
User Manual.
You use the New Flowsheet Page window to add flowsheet
views. Click Add on the Pages tab.
View: A drop-down list of available views (pages).
Note: The View list contains the flowsheet views
you create under Flowsheet
View in CP Console, along with any default flowsheet views exported
with this application.
Display Name: Display name automatically fills
in when you select a view. If you change the display name, the flowsheet
view name changes in CP Console, and displays as Page Name in a new session
of CP Flowsheets.
Page Type: Page type identifies the flowsheet
view as being Mandatory, Optional, or Supplemental.
- Mandatory – required; the mandatory view is always on the
Flowsheet; it is the default view.
- Optional – on or off (hide); the optional view is not always
there. As many optional views as needed can be added one at a time
(i.e. ventilator or pacemaker) and can be turned on or off as necessary
and continue to be used with no loss of data.
- Supplemental – you can use the view, but it is not necessary
for all flowsheets; a supplemental view does not display initially,
you have to add it to the flowsheet. You can use multiple supplemental
views (i.e. IV bags or multiple wounds). If you close a supplemental
view and add a new one, the new one will be blank. The data is locked
into that view. The closed supplemental view can still be viewed on
the flowsheet and report.
You use the Edit Flowsheet Page window to select a Page Type. Click
Edit on the Pages tab.
Totals Tab
Select the Totals tab to move available, active totals
to the assigned totals list (add
and remove),
as well as arrange the selected totals
to display in a specific order.
- Totals add only verified observations.
- Totals are the calculation of all intakes for a single type
of observation.
- Totals work off actual date range totals.
You use the Left/Right Arrows to move totals between the Available
Totals list and the Assigned Totals list.
You use the arrows Up/Down Arrows to arrange the
assigned totals in a display order that fits your needs.
