Connect Care provides tools to help prescribers facilitate efficient patient journeys through acute care facilities. This can start in emergency rooms where patients' admission needs are determined by considerations like cardiac monitoring and isolation for communicable disease risks.
Two new patient list columns can help emergency room consultants and admitting services match incoming patients with available inpatient resources.
- Telemetry Status (column ID = 304348154)
- Display: Icon shows if patient has an active order for telemetry (cardiac monitoring).
- Hover: Pop-up information about monitoring order and link to action telemetry.
- Double-click: Open chart to orders activity.
- Isolation Status (column ID = 3043460401)
- Display: Icon shows if patient has an active isolation order.
- Hover: Current isolation status and link to open a discontinue isolation order.
- Double-click: Open pop-up window with more information about isolation status, results of respiratory infection screening, and link to isolation order.
Either column can be added to any patient list. Both are part of the "++AHS ED MD CONSULTS++ provincial Patient List Template, which can be applied to personal lists to automatically set up the above columns in addition to other columns useful for admission planning in Emergency contexts.
