Implementation Plan for the E-Record PCT/NA Patient List

PCT/NA Patient List • What is it? – A patient care reference tool for NAs and PCTs • Looks like a census report, with detailed patient care tasks added – Pulls data from eRecord fields – Includes a variety of patient care tasks and directives relevant to NA and PCT role for each patient in their assignment – Is accessible via the Explorer Menu in eRecord – Is customizable......has numerous care categories that can be selected or deselected – Most importantly, IT SAVES THE NA/PCT STAFF 20-30 MINUTES EACH SHIFT! • Previously, this information was acquired by reviewing Caredexes in eRecord or in verbal reports 2

YOUR ROLE in Implementation: ALL Unit Directors • Make sure all PCT’s/NA’s on your unit know how to access and use this document • Work with staff to incorporate into their routine, including: – Streamlining verbal report – Designing process for them to get the verbal info they still need Verbal info – Spot checking to make sure it is happening the way you want it to – during the “learning curve”, you may want to have them turn their papers in so you can see these blanks are filled out appropriately 3

YOUR ROLE in Implementation: ALL Unit Directors (cont’d) • Because the report is customizable, you may want to specify for your staff the minimum requirements as to which categories need printed. • Consider working with your nurses to encourage them to “clean up” orders that are no longer relevant but need to be completed in E-record. Otherwise this info will continue to print on the list. • Think… do you have any current practices (like a CBS clipboard where nurses write which patients need blood sugars for the NA’s/PCT’s) that may no longer be needed? 4

YOUR ROLE in Implementation: PCT’s/NA’s • Use this info to help streamline your verbal report – focus your verbal report on finding out info that is not in E-record. Blanks are provided for you on the report for some of this info. Verbal info • Reprint the list periodically throughout the day. • For your information… this is version 1, version 2 will be coming out soon. 5

Training Materials • Educational Power point (PCT Patient List Instructions) • THIS Power Point • Web link for PCT’s/NA’s – send link in email and it is a 3:36 second video that walks the PCT/NA through how to print and use this list – Web address is: http://infonet2.upmc.com/video/Pages/default.aspx?videoItem=62&c ollTypeItem=7 • After clicking, scroll down to either ALL ITEMS or CLINICAL SERVICES AND EDUCATION and click on video entitled, “ Using the PCT/NA e-record report” It looks like this 6
