The Custom Flowsheet module allows you to view, edit, and create custom flowsheets. Custom Flowsheets consist of a set of data items (such as vital signs, lab values, health monitoring, or other LMR information) that you arrange to provide a useful "snapshot" of information on the health of your patients.
Note: Use the Flowsheets module (from the Patient Chart menu) to view flowsheet details for a patient.
For example, you can create a flowsheet for a specific condition, such as asthma or strep. You can even use any of LMR's standard flowsheets (such as for internal medicine or diabetes) as the basis for creating a new flowsheet by editing it and saving it with a new name.
Your personal custom flowsheets display initially. However, a series of filter buttons at the top of the screen can help you locate and view flowsheets created by others. See Using Custom Filters for details.
The Module Preferences button is different than the other filter buttons. It allows you to limit the flowsheets that are available to you from the Flowsheets module. It also allows you to select the default flowsheet (that is, the flowsheet initially displayed when you go to the Flowsheets module). See Maintaining the Target Custom List and Setting the Default Custom Flowsheet for details.
Note: The pediatric flowsheet is always displayed for patients 18 years old and younger, regardless of the specified default flowsheet.
