General Clinical Resources

Central Line Insertion - (Handout) For central line and PICC line insertion, or dialysis catheters, the workflow begins with a provider placing the appropriate Order Set. The nurse then acknowledges the orders and documents the Time-Out and Checklist prior to the start of the procedure. Finally, the Checklist documentation is reviewed and a Bedside Procedure Note is created by the provider using NoteWriter.
Document Vitals Directly from the Track Board - (Handout) To save time, record a patient's vitals without leaving the Track Board.
Pregnancy Travel Screening - (Handout) Certain UIHC Ambulatory Clinics and Inpatient Units screen for risk for Zika virus in patients that are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. This tool aids in determining whether a patient may require additional consulting and/or special testing.
Requesting Transport for an ED Patient - (Handout) The Patient Transport activity is used to alert transport staff that assistance is needed to move a patient in the ED.
Reviewing Information for Outpatient to ED Patient Referrals - (Handout) The Emergency Department Referral (UIHC ED Only) order is used identify patients coming from a UIHC outpatient setting and automatically relay pertinent information from that visit to ED staff. If applicable, you can view relevant clinic visit information from the report including notes and any clinic orders (e.g. meds, labs, imaging).
