Tippy - MD Notifications in Patient Lists

Tippies can be quickly adopted with immediate workflow benefits...
  • Prescriber Notifications in Patient Lists
One of the more useful columns that can be incorporated in patient lists is "IP Notifications" (select column 3043401601 or use one of the inpatient MD My List templates).

The resulting cell has a cloverleaf of visual alerts. Clockwise from top left, these are (1) New Labs, (2) New Notes, (3) Orders needing Cosign, (4) Notes needing Cosign.


Hovering over one of the icons will trigger a pop-up display of additional information (e.g., list of notes requiring cosign with links to view the notes without opening the chart). Double-clicking one of the icons will open the chart to an appropriate activity for taking action (e.g., co-signing notes).

These visual cues can help one focus on new information or unfinished work. The new labs and new notes indicators depend upon use of "Time Mark" in Results Review (Chart Tab) or Storyboard, and "Mark All as Not New" in Notes Review (Notes Tab):

  

Making a habit of clicking these review timestamps when rounding can improve the usefulness of patient lists for task management.
