Methods for access to a patient's treatment information

SmartFlow has three methods that you can use to get access to treatment information that you recorded in a patient's flowsheet.

The three methods are as follows:
  • You can show the information of a treatment cell
  • You can show the general information of a flowsheet
  • You can use SmartFlow reports to show the information that you recorded

Method: Show information of a treatment task

When you complete a treatment task for a patient, you can record information about the treatment directly in the flowsheet. After you complete the task, the flowsheet shows the information that you recorded.

If necessary, you can select the treatment task again to show the information that you recorded.

If you enter more than one word in a treatment task, SmartFlow automatically shows the words that you entered in:
  • The treatment cell of the flowsheet
  • The NOTES pane of the flowsheet
  • The Notes dialog box of the flowsheet
  • The Notes report
  • The Billing report
  • The Medical records report
If you enter only one word in a treatment task, SmartFlow only shows the word that you recorded in:
  • The treatment cell of the flowsheet
  • The Billing report
  • The Medical records report

Method: Show general information of a flowsheet

If you select NOTES, SmartFlow shows the Notes dialog box. You can use the Notes dialog box to record and show general information about the patient's clinical care.

In the SmartFlow web app, select NOTES in a patient's flowsheet to show a Notes dialog box. As an alternative to the dialog box, use the NOTES pane of a patient's flowsheet. To show the NOTES pane, select SHOW WORKFLOW.

In each SmartFlow app, the dialog box shows recorded information about the patient's clinical care.

SmartFlow has reports that show flowsheet treatment information. To show the information, you can use:
  • The Medical records report
  • The Notes report
