Standing Delegation PowerPlans Title Change Approved

Use and Standards Committee has approved the changing of Standing Delegation PowerPlan titles to include “SDO” and the physician name. For example: “Rapid Response Plan” will become “Rapid Response SDO- Dr. Alalawi”. This will ensue that the nurse knows the correct communication type and the correct physician name to place the orders under. Performance Improvement has confirmed that the following physician signatures are on file for the corresponding plans and therefore will be updated with new titles:

1.       Wound Care SDO- Dr. Griswold

2.       Rapid Response SDO- Dr. Alalawi

3.       Newborn Nursery SDO- Dr. Robinson

4.       NS PowerPlan SDO- Dr. Ragain

5.       Anesthesia Pre-Op Screening SDO-Dr. Johnson

6.       Sane Examination SDO-Dr. Piel (EC use only)

7.       Physical Therapy Topical SDO-Dr. Griswold

NS For Procedure Setup PowerPlan

DO NOT DISCONTINUE NS FOR PROCEDURE SETUP POWERPLAN OR INDIVIDUAL NS ORDERS

 

To assist the nursing staff in charging for NS that is pulled out of the pyxis for procedural use (blood infusions, IVPB infusions, CRRT, etc) the nurses now have a NS FOR PROCEDURE SETUP PowerPlan containing 3 NS orders (250 mL, 500 mL, and 1000 mL bags of NS).    They need these orders to remain active throughout the patients stay.  The plan is initiated under Dr. Ragain as he is the champion physician for this process.   Please help us ensure that our nurses have the necessary orders to carry out their workflows.

 

If you are doing TRANSFER RECONCILIATION, you can easily see that the orders are part of this necessary PowerPlan by hovering over the PowerPlan icon.  Again, please help us by leaving these orders alone and NOT discontinuing them.
