Weight in Kg & Gram on Patient Banner (RN view & MedAct view)

  1. On the patient's banner, could you change the weight from lbs (pounds) to kg (kilograms) on the nursing view?

  2. Could there just be weight in KG and Grams for the provider view?

This is important to know for pediatric patients, which require their weight in KG only, especially in emergency situations. For newborns, they require Grams. Remove "lbs", but keep "kg" and "g".

It is confusing on the MedAct (provider) side where it lists all the different weight types in kg, lbs, and grams. If there are medications that are weight based in KG, then it is important to know the weight.

    Nursing workflow within Web Client should no longer require accessing System Menu. The Thrive Helper is still required for some items to display within the Web Client.

    If this is updated on the Web Client, would getting to the "System Menu" still have issues / require installation/download of "Thrive Helper" that never works? This is why our nurses still use the original ThriveUX.

    The changes were programmed specifically for the blue Demographics bar and ID Panel (Web Client only) seen from Charts. It does appear that the same logic displays on the Virtual Chart. We would encourage all nurses and providers to move to the Web Client to take advantage of the additional features available with the new ID Panel.

    Will that display on the nurse's initial view or only display on the MedAct (provider's view)? There are 2 different views, but it seems that the nurse's view is extremely limited in what can be seen. So if it's just KG, instead of lbs, that would be helpful.

    Work was completed on the 21.05.00 release to include improvements on the way weight displays in the demographic panel and new ID panel. The ID panel offers additional information.

    • The weight shall display with the Current Weight and kilograms bolded, with the pounds and ounces next to it in parenthesis.

      • Current Weight: 88.45 kg (175 lbs 6.0 oz)

    • If the weight is <2500 g then grams shall also display within the parenthesis with an = lbs, oz

      • Current Weight: 2.12 kg (2123.0 g = 4 lbs 9.3 oz)
