Answer 1

Rows (the smallest pieces of the flowsheet) Groups (collections of rows) 
Flowsheet Templates (the record of the flowsheet itself)

Question 2

Name at least two different row types?

Answer 2

Data, Flowsheet Group, Custom Formula

Question 3

Name at least five different value types?

Answer 3

Blood pressure, category, custom list, date, numeric, patient height,

Question 4

Explain the difference between listing a preferred group in a row record and linking a row record to a group in the group record?

Answer 4

Preferred group determines where the row appears if you add it individually to a flowsheet. Opening the group record and attaching records in the Rows field. on the other hand, creates a permanent link between the group and the row, whenever you add that group to a flowhseet template, it appears with all its attached rows.

Question 5

Why should you use the value type of “Patient Weight” instead of “Weight”

Answer 5

“Patient Weight” allows for age-based min/max values and units “weight” requires you to pick configuration for all patients.

Question 6

What does “Charting to a definition” mean and how does it apply to assessment flowsheets?

Answer 6

Charting to a definition is a method of clinicial documentation in which providers record only the walues lying outside the facilities defined normal limits. In the case of assessment flowshets, charting to a definition means that providers can enter “WDL” for normal systems and need to document in cascading flowsheet rows only if the patient has an assessment that does not meet the defined limits.

Question 7

True or False? Cascading flowsheets are useful only for facilities that choose to chart to a definition?

Answer 7

False.

Question 8

True or False? Cascading rows always appear in the order they are attached to the flowsheet template record, regardless of how the end user cascades them on the flowsheet.

Answer 8

True. Both automatic cascades and the cascading groups/rows window respect the order of records attached to the flowsheet template, even if they start removed.

Question 9

True or False? Cascading rows always appear in the order they are attached to the flowsheet template record, regardless of how the end user cascades them onto the flowsheet?

Answer 9

True.

Question 10

When building a cascading flowsheet trigger row, what difference does it make to enter “Prompt User” versus “Add without prompting users” in the method field?

Answer 10

Prompt users causes the cascading groups/rows window to appear where users can pick which rows and groups they would like to add to the flowsheet, Add without triggers an automatic cascade that does not give users a choice of what to add.

Question 31

Instead of yellow, they want “future’ times to be black. Can that be configured? Where? Could you “pilot” this new color scheme in just one of your multiple hospitals?

Answer 32

The color change can be done in systems defs. Unfortunately the change is system wide, so you could NOT pilot it in a particular unit.

Question 33

You are rolling out MAR barcoding and all of the nurses working in the hospital are expected to start using barcode scans to confirm the ID of their patients and the medications they are giving. They said, your respiratory therapist all use portable tablet PC’s and don’t have barcode scanners attached. The TY’s should therefore not be expected to do barcode scanning. How could you set this up?

Answer 33

In the nurses profile (or possibly the systems def profile) indicate that a reason is required for giving a medication without scanning the patient or the medication. In the RT’s profile indicate that these reasons are NOT required.
