Main Office Software version 6127 and Clinical Point of Care Software version dated 04/12/2017, now have programmed options available for selection in a new drop down for the Activity Grid Comments in Physician Orders. The field continues to also allow direct data entry. The new programmed options provide enhanced tracking for Infections, additional visit orders, lab work, and wound changes. The Physician Order Activity Grid comments are visible in the patient Activity Grid, and in the Control Board/PT Activities/Physician Orders for real time tracking. The Physician Order Listing reports includes Activity Grid Comments for historical tracking.
Agencies that may want to require Activity Grid Comment completion now have an override in Set Up/ System Overrides/485 Phys. Orders tab, under Physician Orders the last check box “Users must complete the activity grid comment field” can be marked.
