General treatment settings
After you add a treatment to a flowsheet, you can configure its treatment settings. Use the settings to record information about the treatment and when to do it.
Note: General settings are the only settings applicable for monitoring, procedure, or activity treatments.
The table that follows shows each setting and its function:
| Setting | Function |
|---|---|
| Start at (o'clock) | Use Start at (o'clock) to configure the start time of the treatment. After you select a start time, SmartFlow changes the treatment task color at the applicable time. |
| Continue every (hours) | Use Continue every (hours) to configure the interval of treatment tasks. If you select None, SmartFlow does not automatically schedule treatment tasks. If you select Once, SmartFlow schedules one treatment task at the time that you selected in the Start at (o'clock) box. If you select a different time interval, SmartFlow automatically sets a treatment task at the applicable interval after the time that you selected in the Start at (o'clock) box. |
| Instructions | Use Instructions to enter applicable information about the treatment. When a staff member selects a treatment task in the patient's flowsheet, SmartFlow shows the Instructions text. |
| Billing | Use Billing to tell SmartFlow parameters to sync invoice information to the Billing report and to your practice information management system (PIMS). Note: Before SmartFlow shows the Billing setting, a practice manager must set ACCESS BILLING FROM THE WHITEBOARD to YES. If your SmartFlow site is connected to your PIMS, then the practice manager must also set the SEND BILLING & MEDICAL RECORDS TO EMR to OFF. |
| Color boxes | Use the color boxes to set the color of the treatment tasks of the treatment. |
