Treatment task text (staff initials or clinical information)

SmartFlow automatically knows if the text that you enter for a treatment task is staff initials or clinical information about the treatment.

If you enter only one word, SmartFlow reads the one word as staff initials that identify a completed treatment. As a result, the one word shows in:
  • The treatment cell of the flowsheet
  • The NOTES pane
  • The Notes dialog box
  • The Notes report
  • The Billing report
  • The Medical records report

Text for a treatment task with only one word
If you enter more than one word, SmartFlow reads the words as clinical information about the treatment. As a result, SmartFlow shows the words in:
  • The treatment cell of the flowsheet
  • The Billing report
  • The Medical records report

Text for a treatment task with more than one word
Note: To sense the number of words, SmartFlow examines the number of spaces in the text that you enter.

This table gives examples of text entered in a treatment task and the result:

Text entered Result
sh - 1.35Because the text entered has a space before and after the dash, SmartFlow senses the text as three words. As a result, SmartFlow shows the text in:
  • The treatment cell of the flowsheet
  • The NOTES pane
  • The Notes dialog box
  • The Notes report
  • The Billing report
  • The Medical records report
sh-1.35Because the text entered does not have spaces, SmartFlow senses the text as one word and thus as staff initials. As a result, SmartFlow shows the text in:
  • The treatment cell of the flowsheet
  • The Billing report
  • The Medical records report
straining to defecateBecause the text entered has a space between each word, SmartFlow shows the text in:

  • The NOTES pane
  • The Notes dialog box
  • The Notes report
  • The Billing report
  • The Medical records report
strainingBecause the text entered does not have spaces, SmartFlow senses the text as one word and thus as staff initials. As a result, SmartFlow shows the text in:
  • The treatment cell of the flowsheet
  • The Billing report
  • The Medical records report
Note: In this example, SmartFlow senses the text as staff initials because the text is one word only. But the text is clearly not staff initials.
