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:

Information about the patient and applicable client
The patient's scheduled treatment tasks, or workflow tasks, or both

You can use a whiteboard to:

Show patient flowsheets
Change patient information
Change client information
Make temporary patient records

The whiteboard shows a number on the patient card to identify the quantity of scheduled treatment tasks that staff did not complete.

Note: The whiteboard shows a number on the patient card 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, you must complete the treatment task of the flowsheet of the different day (as an alternative, you can remove it).

You can change which patients SmartFlow shows. For example, you can configure SmartFlow to show:

The patients of one whiteboard
The patients of many whiteboards
The patients of all whiteboards

To change the whiteboard that SmartFlow shows, select the name of the whiteboard. The ALL WHITEBOARDS button

The full-screen mode

The SmartFlow iPad app has a full-screen mode for whiteboards. To use the full-screen mode, select the full-screen button:

Show a patient's treatment sheet
Make a temporary patient record
