Intro to EMR Electronic Medical Record
Integrated system so same information is viewable regardless of point of entry or desktop Central access point for all results, patient demographic information, reports, clinical documentation, and clinical data.

Intro to EMR Selected tabs represent the EMR, viewable from all desktops with shared information Patient header includes name, age, DOB, ht, wt, MRN, Acct number, Reg status, location/room/bed, and allergies Items that have information “new to you” will be highlighted in red.

“i”: More Information Small “i” next to patient name provides additional information such as allergies, height, weight, admit date and time, BMI, and Code Status.

Select Visits Panel This panel allows you to select the visits for which you wish to view patient data. Choose a time period and visit type, or manually check off the visits you wish to view. Current visit is the default.

Summary Panel The summary panel holds clinical, demographic, and legal information regarding the patient. Allergies, home medications and problems (diagnoses) can be edited via the blue edit button. Allergies and home medications are usually edited on the Clinical Data screen which will be covered later.

Summary Panel (cont) The legal indicators page of the summary panel includes important patient information such as patient rights information, language, immunization, readmission data, blood type, precautions, fall risk, and Braden score. This information is also viewable for all visits by selecting the “all visits” tab.

Order Entry- Procedures
Full orders functionality will be shown in the CBT coming up. To provide an overview, all non ordering providers will select an ordering provider and source upon selecting “New Orders”. This will launch you to your selection screen where you can order off of favorites, by category group, or by typing ahead in the name tab. With the type ahead, select the desired order. Multiple orders can be queued up by clearing the search field after selection and typing ahead again.

Orders continued Clicking next will launch into the Edit Order list where all new orders and any potential duplicate orders will display. Any orders that have fields requiring edits will have an asterisk. Clicking that order will display the edit screen and fields with asterisks must be completed.

Editing Order Frequency
In the edit screen of an order, the frequency field can be free texted in. For series orders, the system recognizes DAILY and QXH. Simply enter the count in the count field and the stop time will automatically calculate. For DAILY orders the start time automatically defaults to the morning draw. Once all requirements are satisfied clicking next will take you to the Manage Orders screen where additional edits can be made if necessary.

Orders cont Once you have reviewed on Manage Orders and click next you will be taken to the Current Orders table where new orders will be displayed with a green “New” status until filed. Clicking submit files the orders. Physicians require pin entry before filing.
