Informationals are orders that display on resident Physician Orders documents, but do not require any administration records on the eMAR. These are managed on a resident's Manage Orders page, and may pertain to specific statements required by your state license or a doctor's recommendation.
We can organize informational orders into different types, and if all or many of your residents need the same details on their Physician Orders documents, we can manage these in settings and easily apply them to all or selected residents.
Common informational orders may include:
- Dietary recommendations: Low salt diet, No concentrated sweets, Regular
- Code Status
- Immunizations: Pneumonia, Influenza
- Lab Orders
- "Ancillary Orders"
To add an informational for a resident, navigate to Manage Orders and click the +Add Informational button.
You must select the appropriate start date and a prescriber. Prescribers in the list will include any contacts at your community with the "Medical Contact" tag. Click the appropriate Type, and then add the details of the order in the Notes field. You can use the +Add Another button to add multiple informationals for a resident for the same date and prescriber.
Community Informationals
If an order is particularly common or applies to all residents, we can use the Community Informationals feature to create the order one time, and then easily apply it to all or selected residents.
In Medications Settings, we can manage the informational Order Types and the list of Community Informationals. Add and Edit any Community Informationals here.
To apply Community Informationals, go to your Medications menu at the top of the page and click Manage Orders. Click the Apply Community Informationals button to select one or more of the Community Informationals.
Once created, find these orders on the residents' Physician Orders document.
