Screen shot of the electronic status board. To the left of the image is the following text:

• Customize to display pertinent information by type of caregiver
• List of residents by location.
• Sort by any field.
• Provides critical info such as Resuscitation Status, new Lab results, Allergies, latest Vital Signs at a glance. Also specific treatments (like Accu-checks)
• Alerts caregivers of Medications or Interventions that are due
• Alerts caregivers to New Orders
• Physician Contact info available with one click.

Notes:

As we look at different areas of our system there were different challenges.
Customizing is a wonderful feature
The challenge was deciding what is the most relevant information for each discipline and each shift.
