When a nurse is putting in an initial assessment on a flowchart literally titled initial: there should be an option that the initial radio button stays selected whether or not the nurse gets off that flowchart and back into it. As it is now: when the nurse gets out of the flowchart and goes back in the radio button changes to shift. This makes the entered information not show up on the Initial Physical Assessment but Patient Progress Notes.
On flowchart builds there is a checkbox to say it will always be shift, there should also be one to say it will always be initial.
Assuming you're using the Physical Assessment Flowchart, there is an Initial radio button and a Shift radio button on the flowchart questions that can be selected to designate which one is being charted. Is this the functionality that you are looking for?
