I think it would be beneficial to have a spot on the console (or system menu dashboard) that reminds you when tasks are due. Right now you have an order that, for example, states "VS every 8 hours." So you just have to remember to do this. I think it would be great if there was a task list that was a available in one of these spots that you could easily administer the order from and it popped up with the time it was due as a reminder (i.e. VS every 8 hours- a reminder would pop up for 0800, 1600, 0000 and when you clicked then you could "add action")
I think it would be especially helpful for assigning things like daily weights, hourly vitals, incentive spirometer or dressing changes, etc. At the moment the only way we can make sure they are addressed or not forgotten is to place them on the MAR so the nurse has to address it. But if there could be a daily task list for each patient that can be "checked off" that would be super helpful.
This is an excellent idea! Perhaps having it on the tracking board would be beneficial as well.
We have a Task List in the planning stages. We have to start with making the nursing orders like "VS every 8 hours" structured with the ability to add a frequency to them. There are also other types of nursing orders that are not tasks but equally important, like Code Status, Provider Admit Reason, Consult order, that will update other areas of Thrive when placed through Order Entry. We have started the work needed for the nursing orders and will continue from there.
Yes, This would be great if it worked like the task list in Centriq. We had a Clinical Center and it was great. It gave us what was due on the patient. It also alerted us that there was a stop time needed on an infusion. Losing this has been a huge disadvantage.
