A number of enhancements have been made to ICANotes for use by dietitians and for those working with patients with eating disorders. They are as follows:
1. There is now a work area for dietitians. It can be reached from the chart face, center bottom, "Dietitian's Note".
1. There is now a work area for dietitians. It can be reached from the chart face, center bottom, "Dietitian's Note".
This work area contains sections regarding the patient's current weight and BMI, the patient's current diet, and notes regarding the patient's meal behavior, response to the program, goals, and mental status.
The finished note is titled a Dietitian's Note on the Chart Face.
2. There are now sections of the program where the patient's intake of food, behavior during meals and fluid intake and output can be entered. It is anticipated that these factors will be entered by technical staff, rather than by nurses or dietitians, although any discipline can, of course, use these new work sections.
These new sections are entered from the Behavior buttons, which are both on the work areas Progress Note, Prescriber and Progress Note, Non Prescriber. Once in the Behavior sections (there are two, one for In Patients and one for out Patients), there is a section called "Dietary Intake" with a See List button. The See List is a shrub where information about the patient's behavior during meals, the amount and type of food and calories eaten, and fluid intake and output can be entered.
Your suggestions regarding refinement or enhancements to these new work areas are, of course, welcome. Also, if you have any questions about how to use these new features please feel free to contact us.
