...
- The drop down list with actions visualised in the wireframe is only an illustration and is not restrictive.
- This can be enriched with existing features within the hospital software (e.g. substitute, stop medication, instructions of use, ...).
Quick access to most important features when validating, e.g. edit or reject changed medication line. More features are available via drop down menu.
Quick access to most important features when validating, e.g. re-activate stopped medication line. More features are available via drop down menu.
- When validating medication and when confronted with several changes from Vitalink towards the local medication in the EHR, it can also be useful to have a very quick access to the most important features:
- Edit & reject (in case of new/changed medication line coming from Vitalink)
- Re-activate (in case of stopped medication line coming from Vitalink).
- This means that de healthcare professional can reinitiate the previous state of the medication line (cfr. previous medication state in history overview of that medication).
Example when medication line is folded out to see more details.
- It is also possible to fold out a medication line to see more details like creator of the medication line, ...
- This action can be done by clicking on the arrow pointing down. Next, the section with details will fold out.
Validating at the end of the ambulant visit
Example of 'Validate & update Vitalink' button on top of the list of the combined overview of the active medication.
- After checking the active medication with the patient, updating medication and / or prescribing medication, the healthcare professional will validate the medication scheme (the combined overview).
- Like already indicated:
- When the healthcare professional agrees with the combined overview (agreement with changed medication line & stopped medication), he/she doesn't have to take any action.
- When the healthcare professional doesn't agree, action should be taken to edit, reject, re-activate, ...the medication lines until correct.
- Validating the combined overview will work the same as validating the active medication in the local EHR: the healthcare professional will have to validate the medication scheme and at the same time, the information will be uploaded to Vitalink.
- By default all medication lines would be selected (check boxes will be checked) to upload to Vitalink.
- The healthcare professional can de-select medication lines in the exceptional cases they would not wish to share those with other healthcare professionals.
- This action entails a big risk and thus a specific confirmation should be asked if the healthcare professional is sure he/she does not want to update medication line X to Vitalink.
Example when the system is still working on the sync with Vitalink. The healthcare professional can already validate (without sending data to Vitalink).
- When the sync with Vitalink is not yet done, and when the healthcare professional would like to validate already, it is possible to validate & continue. This means that no update to Vitalink is send for this patient.
- But normally this shouldn't be this case since the sync & analysis of the combined overview should be done in 4 to 6 seconds or less; with a maximum of 10 seconds.
Example when there is no Vitalink medication scheme for the patient. By default it is indicated that a Vitalink medication scheme will be created when validating the active medication.
The healthcare professional can uncheck this option and continue with only (internal) validating.
- When there isn't yet a Vitalink medication scheme for the patient, this is indicated via status information.
- Next, the healthcare professional can validate and create a Vitalink medication scheme at the same time.
- It should be set by default that if there not no Vitalink medication scheme, a new one will be created when validating the medication.
- The healthcare professional can uncheck this option and can continue with only internal validating the active medication.
Partial upload of the medication scheme to Vitalink
Example of notification when the healthcare professional validates the medication scheme without selecting all medication.
If validating the active medication list / scheme without selecting all medication lines:
A notification appears with the message to select all medication lines.
Below the action buttons, the medication list / scheme should be visualized.
In this way, the healthcare professional can easily check / select & validate towards Vitalink.
No Vitalink update when closing patient record
Example of notification when the healthcare professional closes the medical record without validating & updating the medication scheme towards Vitalink.
If closing the patient record without validating & updating the medication scheme towards Vitalink:
A notification appears with the question to update Vitalink or not.
Below the action buttons, the medication list / scheme should be visualized.
In this way, the user can easily check & validate towards Vitalink.
- When a change or other action is necessary, the healthcare professional can start from here (using the drop down list with actions).
Patient Print
VOORBEELD PRINT BERT ERIN PLAKKEN
Example of screen overlay with visualization of patient friendly medication scheme. As from here, it is also possible to validate & update the medication scheme towards Vitalink.
- An alternative for validating & updating to Vitalink at the end of a contact is doing so when having the patient friendly medication screen open. Often this one of the last actions the healthcare professional does when working in the patient file.
- The healthcare professional can choose if he/she wants to print or wants to print & immediately validate the medication scheme towards Vitalink.
- In this way, the healthcare professional doesn't need to validate anymore before closing the patient file in the EHR.
