New Flowsheet: Risk Scores and Assessments

Go-Live: March 5, 2024

Summary

To enhance providers' accessibility in locating crucial patient care details, a new flowsheet has been created. This flowsheet contains scores and assessment data that were previously difficult to find.

Key Points

Risk Scores and Assessments - Flowsheet contains the following assessments:

  • VTE (Venous Thromboembolism)

  • CIWA (Clinical Institute Withdrawal Assessment)

  • IBW (Ideal Body Weight)

  • PCA (Patient Controlled Analgesia)

Note: If the assessment is not documented, then it will not appear in the flowsheet. This may mean that the assessment hasn’t occurred or that the patient doesn’t meet the criteria for it.
