September 29, 2015—Enhancements for Nutrition Orders for Discharge
The discharge orders for nutrition have been enhanced to facilitate interdisciplinary communication and remove unnecessary or redundant information. In addition, when the orders indicate the need, the provider who signs the discharge orders as final is prompted to complete a referral for outpatient follow-up for nutrition.
Key features:
The current active inpatient orders for Food and Nutrition Services are displayed when available.
Fields for possible completion are the discharge diet recommendation from the patient's MGH dietician; TPN for pediatric patients; formula recipes; nutrition discharge summary; nutrition plan and/or recommendations for follow-up; referral reason for outpatient nutrition follow-up.
When the discharging provider saves the orders as final, and an option is selected for the Referral Reason for Outpatient Nutrition Follow-up, the provider is prompted to print and complete the referral form.
