Creating an eINTERACT Change in Condition Evaluation

The eINTERACT Change in Condition Evaluation, which includes the SBAR and eINTERACT Reference Guides, helps you in analyzing eINTERACT alerts to support a quick and appropriate response to a possible change in condition of the resident.

SBAR - The SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation) Communication Form summarizes pertinent information needed to provide to the physician regarding the resident's change in status. The SBAR Form is populated with the summary of the change in condition and outcomes as the eINTERACT Change in Condition Evaluation is completed, and is available from the Assmnts tab through the eINTERACT Change in Condition Evaluation print link. You can also print the short version of the SBAR Form that excludes questions that are not answered in the Change in Condition Evaluation. The Change in Condition Evaluation must be completed to print the short version.
eINTERACT Reference Guides - The eINTERACT Care Paths and Change in Condition File Cards are available in each section of the eINTERACT Change In Condition Evaluation to ensure best practice.

Note

In the eINTERACT Change in Condition Evaluation, certain questions or responses may trigger a notification to alert the clinical staff to notify the practitioner of the resident's change in condition. If triggered, a red Notifications link appears, and a Notify MD/NP/PA: Immediate or Notify MD/NP/PA: Non-Immediate high risk alert appears on the Clinical Alerts pane on the Clinical and Resident dashboards. Notifications must be acknowledged before the Change in Condition Evaluation can be locked.

You can create the eINTERACT Change in Condition Evaluation in 2 ways.

Creating an eINTERACT Change in Condition Evaluation from an Alert

Do one of the following:
- Clinical > Dashboard.
- Clinical > Resident > Dash tab.
Navigate to the eINTERACT Stop & Watch and Change in Condition Alerts pane.
Select an alert for a resident.
Click Assess.
Complete the fields as required.
Click Save.

Creating an eINTERACT Change in Condition Evaluation from the Assmnts tab

Clinical> Resident > Assmnts tab.
Click New.
Select eINTERACT Change in Condition Evaluation.
Click Save.

When creating a new assessment from the Assmnts tab of the resident's chart, all of the sections and questions are blank because the created assessment was not triggered by either Stop & Watch or Change in Condition Alerts.
The Change in Condition Evaluation can also be triggered via another assessment schedule.
