You can document and monitor a patient’s intake and output by navigating to a patient’s Dashboard and selecting the Intake and Output option from the Medical dropdown menu.
The Intake and Output dashboard defaults to the current date but can be changed to a previous date by clicking the date field, selecting which date you would like to view and then selecting Apply. Finally, click Filter to see the requested data.
To document a new entry, click the New I & O Entry button in the top right.
From the entry screen, you can document the number of milliliters and type of the input or output. You can also type a comment if you need to add any additional details. The Specimen Date field allows you to designate this entry for a specific date and time. Enter the data and then click Save.
Once you have finished your entry, the system displays the results on the Intake and Output dashboard and under Diagnostics on the patient’s chart.
You can convert the data results from milliliters to ounces by selecting the Convert to Oz toggle and clicking Filter.
To access historical Intake and Output entries, or to add a new entry, return to the dashboard by using the Medical menu and then select Intake and Output. Select the date on which you wish to view the historical data and click Apply. Finally, click Filter to see the requested results.
