ED Transitions to
Electronic Provider Notes
Beginning this month, BWH's Emergency Department will
transition to an electronic ED Provider (MD/PA) Note. The new note is an
easy-to-read PDF, available for review by all Partners clinicians immediately
after the note has been preliminarily signed by the ED providers.
To review the new electronic ED Provider Note, follow these
steps (pictured in the image below):
Open LMR or Pod Monitor
- Select the patient
- Choose "Results Menu"
- Select one of these three options: "Summary,"
"Big Board (Notes)" or "Notes Viewer"
To review ED patients' discharge instructions:
- Open
LMR or Pod Monitor
- Select
the patient
- Choose
"Results Menu"
Select
one of these two options: "Summary" or "Big Board (Disch)"
ED RN documentation and other paper-based ED documents will
remain accessible through scanned documents in LMR. With the patient selected in LMR, you can view documentation by
choosing "Results Menu," "Links" and then "BWH Inpt/ED/Day Surg Scanned
Record."
During the gradual transition to
electronic ED Provider Notes, please look for an ED Visit Notification note in
LMR Notes. This will inform you if a patient's ED visit was documented on paper
or electronically, and where to find the ED visit documentation. To find the ED Visit Notification
note, open LMR, select the patient, choose "Patient Chart Menu" and select
"Notes."
