Additional Significant Events Component Update

An additional line has been added to the Additional Significant Events component. The component will now notify you if a new admission has been created within 30 days of the previous one.

Current workflow allowed for an alert based only off the EC Readmit Alert/Order. It tracked only potential 30-day readmit Medicare patients.

This new line will appear any time there is a readmit within 30 days regardless of Medicare or the EC Readmit Order.

New Inpatient Component - Additional Significant Events

A new component is being installed onto the Inpatient Summary View called, Additional Significant Events. It will be located next to the existing Significant Events component.

This new component is for PowerChart in the Emergency Center. When a patient presents to the EC within 30 days of inpatient discharge, the component will become visible to alert you regarding possible readmission status. The component should no longer be visible if the patient is admitted.
