If a provider has designated an acute care plan for a patient (ie when tachycardic, take an extra dose of medication), how do you note that in the chart?
We are looking for solutions to how to make this acute care plan obvious in the chart so that any nurse fielding a phone call from the patient can give the provider’s instructions without having to consult the provider.
So far we have come up with putting an alert in the patient profile photo to check patient Notes. We have used profile photo for alerts like custody issues and patients who received IVIG after measles exposure- however we currently don’t use Notes for clinical information. Any pros and cons to this solution?
