It will be great to have a Worklist for nursing staff. This is more than Order Chronology in the way that will give the nurse the date/time when a task to be done and will be able to document. Documentation will be more than perform or complete. By having a worklist, there will be no orders be missed. Having a report of undocumented task is also beneficial. A nurse manager or charge nurse be able to review if there are task needs to be done and be able to follow up with a specific nurse.
This should be beyond order chron, where the hosppital can build a checklist for admission, discharge, preop. then checklist for admitting etc.
This project continues to be on our roadmap backlog to develop. There are some technical challenges that we need to address to ensure that the solution we develop will address the current needs as well as being in a technology that we can continue to extend for future considerations and development. There are significant changes needed for our nursing orders to be able to provide the notifications and tasking to allow for base line capabilities.
Any timeline on this?
This has been "in development" for over a year? Could you please give an update as to where it is in development? This would be a great place for reminders of things like daily weights, hourly incentive spirometers, dressing changes, nutritional shakes, etc.
May we have a status report on where you are at in the "Development" phase?
This shows In Development- what's it going to take to get some movement on this?
This would be great!! We had a worklist in Centriq that worked well. It shown the current 24 hour tasks and it alerted us with medications had stop time. When we completed a task on the worklist, it also completed it on the order cue.
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.
I agree! I have used EHR in the past that we could schedule orders or tasks and chart against them to remove them from the task list.
I was going to turn in a very similar request. It would be nice to have a location from the tracking board and/or in the patients chart to have worklists. So for Med/Surg floor: Admission would have the list built with check boxes, Initial Interview (with link to eform or flowchart), Medication Reconciliation was completed (sometimes they are still pending and not confirmed because the s/o hasn't arrived with pill bottles or pharmacy isn't open yet to verify), Flu Vaccine assessed (we could add it to the list during the months that our Policy and Procedure requires we assess patients). Daily Workflow could pull some Nursing Orders preferably with times: Daily weights, Vitals with frequency, Consults with _ (to ensure they have been contacted and arrive). Discharge Workflow: Patient Portal Education given, Patient Education given, Discharge Instructions given to patient (link to eform/flowchart), Medication Reconciliation - add button to apply Last Given and Next Dose Due, all forms given, signed, scanned to chart, given to patient.
