Miscellaneous issues

If the patient is coming from SDA, it is a part of the SDA workflow to copy the PAC record into the Main module. If they forget, please be very careful about copying after the fact. If they have made any contributions to the listed tabs, that information will be erased.

If the patient does not go through SDA, you are able to copy that PDF into your record. If you are not sure if the patient came from SDA, go to the Pre Op tab>Summary tab and scroll down to the SDA section to see if it has been completed and signed below.

Please remember that SDA is documenting in iPro as well. When we take the records early, it changes the view for them downstairs. The SDA nurses have been instructed on what to do if someone has taken the case in the OR but if we can give them a little more time while they prep the patients that would be most appreciated.

If your patient is in the block area and you put in your anesthesia start time in the OR and connect to the monitor, this impacts the monitoring of the patient in the block area. You can open the record just wait until the patient comes to the OR before connecting.

When you search for your patient in the search field, check all buckets before manually adding a new record to avoid duplicate records are created.

When you search for your patient you may find they are listed more than once in the Scheduled cases bucket. This is fine. Just choose 1 and document on that same patient record as you move from OR to MRI and back. You can update your Patient tab> Procedure section with all parts of procedure as needed.

If you make an error and document under the wrong patient, stop documenting in that record and create a new one. We  are able to transfer information from the incorrect record to the correct record and delete the incorrect record. Please DO NOT use the CANCEL option (3 dot menu) in this scenario. The Cancel option sends a cancelled PDF to Sunnycare and Sovera and should only be used for cancelling correct patients.

Please remember to log out of the application when you are finished documenting. If you document under another users name this cannot be corrected. We will not be able to remove their signature requirement.

Please review the diagnosis and procedure fields at the end of the case. For a scheduled case, these fields will be populated from the booking however if there are any notes or additional procedures noted on the booking, this will not appear in iPro. You can edit these fields as needed. Health records has flagged a couple records with Procedures not matching the OR booking.
