Disease management guidelines are downloaded from www.cdc.gov/HealthyLiving
and stored as templates within ChartMaker® Clinical. To update, a user
would View the Template List and double-click on the name of the template
the guideline is stored in. This will bring up the Template
Editor.
The user can then manually type in edits, or copy and paste text or scans.
The user can save or rename and close the template. Once the clinician
has put in the guidelines they may enter the last reviewed date and Send
a Message
to all users within the system to indicate that the guidelines were updated.
The next time a user creates a note based on this template, the new guidelines
will show in the patient’s note.
For a user to be reminded that a guideline has come due, a Flow Sheet with that procedure (guideline) needs to exist. To add the procedure to a current Flow Sheet, from any open chart click the Flowsheet tab on the right-hand side of the screen. From the menu, select Flow Sheet/Set, highlight the Flow Sheet this guideline item should be a part of. From the menu, select Flow Sheet/Add Item. This brings up the Add Flow Sheet Item dialog allowing you to add the guideline procedure. See the Flow Sheets help for additional information on adding and modifying flow sheets.
