New Autotexts Coming Wednesday August 26th
Covid_CMS
WHAT is the change: A new Autotext has been created called: ;covid_CMS
WHO does this impact: Providers documenting assessment on COVID patients
WHY is this change being made: consult and specialty providers evaluating COVID patients may rely on the physical assessment of attending providers and team. This is an acceptable practice. Please use the language above to indicate compliance with CMS guidelines during COVID-19 public health crisis.
Goals of Care
WHAT is the change: A new autotext called ;goalsofcare Goals of Care Family and Goals of Care Patient autotext will be simplified and combined into one. This new autotext will have a dropdown list where you can choose either patient, family, or patient/family.
The existing ;goalsofcarefamily and ;goalsofcarepatient Autotexts will be deleted.
WHO does this impact: Providers documenting goals of care. Any provider who has the ;goalsofcarefamily or ;goalsofcarepatient saved as a personal autotext.
WHY is this change being made: There is a trend in mortality where Goals of Care should have been discussed sooner, and Goals of Care are not well documented. The current auto text after review was regarded as lengthy, cumbersome, and not well disseminated with the provider team. Recommendation to simplify and re-educate existing autotext.
Important: If you had previously copied the Goals of care Family or Goals of Care Patient public autotext to use as a personal autotext, you will need to delete those as this change will not update any of your personal autotext.
