Path: Patient>Clinical>Assessments

With the Data Entry tab, you can view the components of the selected assessment.

  • The areas in red must be completed.
  • The areas with a cross (+) in front have more tabs below.
  • When a question is answered, the entire box becomes another color. The remaining questions stay the original color until they are answered.

Note: Your agency can set the colors for assessments in Administration>Configuration>Operators>Settings>Color>Assessments. If your agency policies and procedures allow, you can click the settings icon and go to Color>Assessments to change the colors for your individual machine.

Additional Comments
  • Most tabs have the Additional Comments box for the free-text entry of anything that is not covered on the questions, or any comments the clinician wants to make regarding the patient.
  • In the Additional Comments box, select Yes, and the free-text box becomes active.
Field History
  • The history of answers to the same question for assessments in the current admission period.
  • History can only be shown between templates of the same version.
  • Information in the Field History box changes as you move from question to question.
  • The Field History box includes the Date, Data, and Info columns.
    • The Date column shows the date when the assessment was completed.
    • The Data column shows answers to the same questions for assessments in the current admission period.
    • The Info column shows who completed the assessments.
  • The graph of numbers and the history of changing the field values in an assessment can be found in the Assessment History report (Reports>Clinical and Patient>Documents).
Progress Bar
  • Shows the percentage of the assessment being completed.
  • When the assessment is complete, it can be saved with the clinician's electronic signature and is available for synchronization.
  • As you open the Detail and Education tabs, the percentage of completeness decreases because you have added more questions.
Navigation
  • Use the space bar or mouse to select a field.
  • Use the Tab key to navigate through the fields within a template.
  •  To return to a previously entered question on the assessment, click the question text, not the Yes button. Otherwise, you will remove the Yes answer and delete all the answers on the related panel below.
