About whiteboards
A whiteboard gives staff quick access to information about all patients in an applicable area of your organization. For example, your organization can have a whiteboard for a treatment room and a whiteboard for a boarding department.
For each patient in a whiteboard, SmartFlow shows:
- Patient cards that have information about the patient and applicable client
- The patient's scheduled treatment tasks, or workflow tasks, or both
SmartFlow has a whiteboard screen that can show:
- The patients of one whiteboard
- The patients of many whiteboards
- The patients of all whiteboards
To change the whiteboard that the whiteboard screen shows, select the name of the whiteboard.
In the whiteboard screen, you can:
- Show patient flowsheets
- Change patient information
- Change client information
- Make temporary patient records
Treatment tasks that staff did not complete
Patient cards can show numbers to identify the quantity of scheduled treatment tasks that staff did not complete, if these conditions agree:
- The patient has a flowsheet
- The patient has a flowsheet for a different day
- You did not complete a treatment task of the flowsheet of the different day
To remove the number, complete the applicable treatment tasks (as an alternative, you can remove the task).
Whiteboard view modes
Whiteboards have three view modes. You can use each view mode to show different patient information. This tables shows each view mode and its function:
| View mode | Function |
|---|---|
| The timeline view mode | The timeline view mode shows a patient's treatment tasks. |
| The workflow view mode | The workflow view mode shows a patient's workflow tasks. |
| The hybrid view mode | The hybrid view mode shows both a patient's treatment tasks and a patient's workflow tasks. |
To change a whiteboard's view mode, select the applicable view mode:
Whiteboard filters
Whiteboards have a FILTER button:
You can use the filters to change the information that a whiteboard shows. For example, you can use the filters to configure a whiteboard to only show treatment tasks of an applicable treatment type. The applicable treatment types that you can select are:
- Monitoring
- Activity
- Medication
- Procedure
Full-screen mode
SmartFlow has a full-screen mode for whiteboards. To use the full-screen mode, select the full-screen button:
When a whiteboard is in full-screen mode, it shows more patients. For example, if your organization has many admitted patients, you can use full-screen mode to show all the patients at the same time.
Note: If a whiteboard is in full-screen mode, you cannot:
- Show a patient's treatment sheet
- Make a temporary patient record
The flickering feature
Whiteboards have a flickering feature. If you enable the flickering feature, treatment tasks that you missed or are due flash on the whiteboard. To enable or disable the flickering feature, select FLICKERING:
Note: If the flickering icon is blue, the flickering feature is enabled. If the flickering icon is gray, the feature is disabled.
