VITAL SIGNS ALERTS

Vital Signs Alert Section

The individual Vital Signs Alert Section is located on the Patient’s Summary page. This can be seen above the allergy information of the patient.

This section will alert assigned care staff in the case of the vital sign statistics. When alerts show, the clinicians can contact the physician for any medical directive regarding this shift in the patient’s stats.

Upon the creation of the Plan of Care of the patient, the Clinical Manager can refer to the previous patient records for vital sign parameters or solicit the information from the physician. The slots for filling this out are located on the last tab of the POC/485 page.
