Meditech Filer

Calling the Meditech screen filer: @Screen(*,Z.file(^@main))

Patient Centered Systems PCS are used to assess the patient.

The assessment has query links to interventions so that the patient is treated for all problems instead of the chief complaint.

Diagnosis based systems treat the main problem first. PCS assesses the patient and then determines the plan of care.

A plan of care is your plan to care for a patient. A standard of care is a standard grouping of interventions that a particular unit provides for all patients on that unit.

Patient specific interventions are based on problems.

NUR - Add Problem vs Add Intervention

The ADD A PROBLEM intervention and screen is used to update the plan of care and plan eval screen.

If you AI ADD INTERVENTION instead of ADDING A PROBLEM, your plan of care won't get updated.

NUR - Screen Attached to Intervention

+ next to an intervention indicates that a screen is attached to that intervention.

NUR - Select Intervention by Status

SI from the NUR Process Interventions allows you to SELECT INTERVENTIONS by STATUS.
