Can the liter flow and/or FiO2 be a part of vital signs so you do not have to go back to the flowchart to find how much O2 the patient is on? Not just the device.
This feature is available on the Notes 2.9.0 Update
Please add CO2 to Vitals and make it importable from the machine. This has been a standard of care for sedation since 2011 and I've had a separate Idea submitted for almost a year now without success.
O2 L/min and FiO2 are slated to be included in the vital signs filters in the Notes 2.9.0 release
The O2 liter flow/FiO2 value affects many things from reimbursement to patient transfers. For example, the patient’s status can be completely different when their O2 Sat is 90% on room air vs 90% on 5L/min of O2. Receiving facilities will need to know this to decide where the patient should be placed such as MedSurg, ICU, etc. Insurance companies will look at the vital signs to help determine justification for reimbursement for the patient hospital stay. Also, many situations for chart audits/reviews are: if it wasn’t documented, it didn’t happen. It may seem like a small thing, but it has a huge impact.
