These are two distinct and seperate components of the triage process. ]]> 2023-04-15 09:55:13 UTC https://padlet.com/emrtraining/rw74mv7l8zh5nytu/wish/2555236031 Pre-arrival https://padlet.com/emrtraining/rw74mv7l8zh5nytu/wish/2555237592 This is very confusing. The patient has already arrived - so not sure why you would call it pre-arrival. Also, the vast majority of patients don't have any pre-arrival information or referral, most are walk in presentations. ]]> 2023-04-15 09:59:55 UTC https://padlet.com/emrtraining/rw74mv7l8zh5nytu/wish/2555237592 ED Navigation https://padlet.com/emrtraining/rw74mv7l8zh5nytu/wish/2555238923 Will there be a map?

Is there going to be a separate system, writing progress notes would involve too many notes for small writing, thus flooding the system. https://padlet.com/emrtraining/rw74mv7l8zh5nytu/wish/2606676047 2023-05-27 05:41:56 UTC https://padlet.com/emrtraining/rw74mv7l8zh5nytu/wish/2606676047 Mac 2 Cubicles https://padlet.com/emrtraining/rw74mv7l8zh5nytu/wish/2607761034 Are Cubicles 39-45 included in this Fetalink system?
They don't appear in MAC on the census board.
Is this an oversight?]]> 2023-05-29 09:55:56 UTC https://padlet.com/emrtraining/rw74mv7l8zh5nytu/wish/2607761034 Do the CTG monitors have the same names as the rooms they are in? Eg. does Room 48 have CTG Monitor 48 in it? https://padlet.com/emrtraining/rw74mv7l8zh5nytu/wish/2609738811 It will be extremely difficult if the monitor number and room numbers do not match. This is currently the case in clinic, where the room number, printer number, and label printer number do not match - it's a big problem. Thanks. ]]> 2023-05-31 00:47:47 UTC https://padlet.com/emrtraining/rw74mv7l8zh5nytu/wish/2609738811 If you finalize a CTG and the patient is no longer associated with the room, do they disappear off the labour ward board? How do postnates in labour ward remain visible, or women in labour who are not on a CTG? https://padlet.com/emrtraining/rw74mv7l8zh5nytu/wish/2609754120 2023-05-31 01:01:48 UTC https://padlet.com/emrtraining/rw74mv7l8zh5nytu/wish/2609754120 If a patient is registered on the philips monitor and patient vitals measurements are automatically set up by RN to align with measurement frequency (set to 30/60 until reviewed by EDMO, then 60/60 for the first 4 hours if stable etc), will the patient's vitals automatically fill into the observations section via the central monitoring network? If they do, are we able to retrospectively enter nursing notes in the observation comments panel? tarynchandler https://padlet.com/emrtraining/rw74mv7l8zh5nytu/wish/2615219573 2023-06-05 21:29:14 UTC https://padlet.com/emrtraining/rw74mv7l8zh5nytu/wish/2615219573 Will we be able to perform ECG's and have them save (furthur being able to view them) via the central monitoring network if the patient is registered on the monitor? Or will these still be paper based and require physical sight / signature from the relevant EDMO? tarynchandler https://padlet.com/emrtraining/rw74mv7l8zh5nytu/wish/2615221419 2023-06-05 21:33:20 UTC https://padlet.com/emrtraining/rw74mv7l8zh5nytu/wish/2615221419 2nd Signature for CTG https://padlet.com/emrtraining/rw74mv7l8zh5nytu/wish/2620547970 Does it alert the MIC when you press yes - for CTG review required? ]]> 2023-06-12 02:12:27 UTC https://padlet.com/emrtraining/rw74mv7l8zh5nytu/wish/2620547970 NBST refusal forms https://padlet.com/emrtraining/rw74mv7l8zh5nytu/wish/2620654162 Since everything will be digitalised, where do we store the refusal forms?
