Dream Factory by TruBridge Ideas Portal
our providers in OR would like to write and/or have easy access to the patients discharge instructions. right now they place discharge orders, we use eforms for discharge instructions in surgery and flowcharts for IP, however they would like to see the discharge instructions and edit them themselves, this would also save the nurse from having to copy what that provider put in discharge order set back into the discharge flowchart that flows to their discharge instructions.
This feature to add to discharge instructions should also be allowed on the order sets. There are only so many lines within Nursing Orders to enter instructions.
Discharge orders may be marked to "Print to the Discharge Instructions" in the setup of the Nursing Order. These orders may also be pulled into an Order Set to indicate (via Header) which orders will print to the patient document. This eliminates the need for re-entering in a flowchart.
