PT Burn/Wound and Skin Care Services have requested to optimize the Wound orders and documentation to help aid in providing clarity. A new order has been created to include a dropdown with a Team request. The options of this dropdown are “Appropriate Team for Patient Needs”, “PT Burn and Wound” and “Skin Care/Ostomy Services”. This order will be shared by the 2 services, and they will manage their tasks accordingly. The previous PT Burn/Wound orders and Skin Care orders will be removed from orders selection. Below is a screenshot of the new order and its synonyms.
The Clinical Notes folder that will now contain both services’ documentation to help simplify in finding needed information regarding wounds is below as well.
