Documenting Patient Teaching

Important: The Teaching section of the Infusion Flowsheet was revised based on new JCAHO requirements with the March 25, 2007 release. However, visits started before this release will continue to use the previous Teaching section.

1.   If you haven't already, select the patient and go to the Infusion Flowsheet module.

Note: Patients treated at both MGH and the DFCI may have more than one flowsheet. If so, you need to click the desired flowsheet and click Ok (ALT+O) to continue.

2.   Click the Teaching heading to expand it, indicating if entries have been made for previous visits.

3.   Click the cell on the grid containing blue dashes (----) for the current visit date to display the New Patient Teaching screen.

4.   Click check boxes to indicate learning/barriers, teaching topics, and education/plan/follow-up care.

5.   If desired, click into the comments field and add type additional text.

6.   Click Ok (ALT+O).

7.   If you want to save your work now, click Sign. The LMR indicates the changes that will be saved. Type your key and click Sign.
