Documenting Weights and Vitals for Multiple Residents

Weights and vitals are recorded regularly to evaluate a resident's progress and condition. You can record values for multiple residents using Quick Entry.

Each category shows you the previous three months of data to compare values entered on the resident chart.  

  1. Clinical > Quick Entry. 

  2. In Quick Entry, select option: Weight, Blood Pressure, Temperature, Pulse, Respiration, Blood Sugar, Oxygen Saturation, or Pain Level. 

  3. On Weights and Vitals entry screen, select Date, Time (Hr:Min) and method. 

    Note

    You must select a scale, route, position, or method to save vital entries. Pain values can only be documented using numeric entry. 

  4. Type weight and vital entry for resident.
