Make a procedure parameter for fluid treatment alerts

Fluid treatments and constant rate of infusion (CRI) treatments cannot have alerts. For example, you cannot make SmartFlow do an alert each hour to tell staff to do a check of the applicable fluids treatments. But a practice manager can make a procedure parameter that tells staff when to check the fluid treatments of a flowsheet. As a result, SmartFlow does an alert for the scheduled treatment tasks of the procedure parameter.

To make a procedure parameter, do this procedure.
  1. Select the user account button.
    The user account icon
    SmartFlow shows more settings.
  2. Select SETTINGS.
    The SETTINGS command
    SmartFlow shows the General screen.
  3. In the TEMPLATES AND FORMS section, select Parameters.
    The Parameters command
    SmartFlow shows the Parameters screen.
  4. Select ADD NEW.
    The ADD NEW button
    SmartFlow shows the Create new parameter dialog box.
  5. In the Name box, enter the applicable name of the procedure (for example, Total Fluid Volume).
    The Name box
  6. In the Default Section box, select Procedure.
  7. Make the other settings as necessary.
  8. Select SAVE.
    The SAVE button
SmartFlow has the procedure parameter. When a staff member adds a fluid treatment or a CRI treatment to a flowsheet, they can also add the procedure parameter. As a result, SmartFlow automatically makes an alert to tell staff to check the applicable fluid treatment.
