Chart a treatment

Charting records what was done, the time it was actually done, and who did it. If a dose didn't go in, you record why.

Chart from the sheet

The chart has hours across the top and orders down the side. Yellow means due, and red means it was due and nothing has been charted. Charted squares show who charted them.

1. Click the square for the order and hour you're charting. You can also tap Chart it next to the order in the Orders list.
2. Check Time done. It fills in from the square you clicked, or now. Change it to the minute if you need to, or tap Now.
3. For a medication, pick What happened: Given, Patient refused, Vomited it back, Held — DVM said skip, Drug not available or Missed.
4. Add a note if it helps, such as "with food".
5. Tap Log it.

For a diagnostic, the button in the Orders list says Record, and the box asks for the result before you can save. For a vitals check, it says Take vitals.

Use the arrows above the chart to look at the previous or next day, and Today to jump back.

Chart from Due now

On the Hospital board, open Due now to see everything owed across the ward in the next two hours, overdue first. Tap Chart it on any row. It opens the same box, so you can work down the list without opening each sheet.

If you chart a dose that was due a while ago, the box offers Given on time? Use the due time, so the chart shows when it really went in.

Late entries

If the time done is well before the time you're typing it in, the box tells you it will show as a late entry. The chart, the activity log and the PDF all mark it, for example "given 8:00 PM, charted 9:42 PM". Clinic admins choose how many minutes count as late.

Fluids

Fluids run continuously, so they don't have squares to chart. In the Orders list, use Change rate to record a new mL/hr, or + Bolus to log a bolus in mL. The order keeps a running total of what has gone in.

Stop or restart an order

Tap Stop on an order to end it. Stopped and finished orders fold away under Stopped & finished. Tap Restart there to bring a stopped order back.

Undo a mistake

In All activity, hover over the entry and tap Undo. The entry stays in the log, struck through, with the name of the person who undid it.
