Add-On Tasks
We have added the ability to add on additional tasks that the MD would like to be completed to patient’s appointments, that can be assigned to either an admin/usher, or Nurse.
It is also possible to control which add ons are available from which rooms. For example, a procedure room might have special add ons that don't exist for regular exam rooms.
Add-on Tablet Tasks
Examples of Admin or Nurse tasks to add on to appointments:
I want to see my patient after task - this would trigger the MD to return after the usher / nurse has completed their task, instead of the patient being checked-out and getting the ‘room needs cleaning’ screen
Take patient’s height
Weight
Blood Pressure
15 minute wait after appointment (send patient to waiting room)
Examples of additional Nurse specific tasks to add on to appointments:
Vaccines
ECG
Wound care
Ear syringe
Nurse Assist (i.e. chaperone, or assist needed)
Option for admin/nurse to choose whether MD input is needed
We’ve added a feature that will allow ushers/Nurses to choose whether MD input is needed after checking out for tasks that were assigned to them via the tablet by the MD.
This is related to the add-on of “I want to see my patient after task” for certain add-ons. The MD can add task via the tablet and checks off the “MD to see patient after” option as well as any other options they need.
The Usher / Nurse checks in for that task on the tablet and selects their name. Once completed, the Usher / Nurse completes the task.
Once the Usher / Nurse checks out via the table, at which point they are automatically and always presented with the screen below.
The Usher / Nurse can then decide to select the MD/NP INPUT task to put the patient back into the MD’s queue or they can ‘Check Out Normally’.
If the MD does not want to see the patient afterwards the Usher / Nurse would simply tap “CHECKOUT” and then select the “Check Out Normally” option.
