We would like the Hospital Tracking Board to have columns for Stay Types and Service Codes so we can see these right from the Tracking Board just like we can from the Whiteboard. When you go into the chart there is also no easy right there visible way to see these as well. We are a small Critical Access hospital so our nursing floor will have Acute, Skilled, Swing Bed, Intermediate, Observation, Labor & Delivery, Outpatient Surgery, etc so it's necessary to be able to see that easily.
I agree with Theresa. We have a nurse visit service code, and we need that as an option on the tracking board. The encounters have to and need to be under a provider, but if we have the service code column, the provider would know that that patient isn't one they need to 'see'.
Yes we need a way to determine patient type by service code.
