Shift Change Report:

The shift change report is made up of several notes from the following departments;
 

1. Nursing Notes:  When a shift Nurse composes a note that is of a nature that the next shift should be made aware of it the Nurse will select the Watch option which will cause the note to be shown on the shift change report.  The note will remain on the Shift Change Report until the issue has been resolved and no longer needs to be brought to the attention of the subsequent shift.  Clearing a Hot Watch is done on the note its self by selecting Select link under the name of the resident and on the selected note sign the Hot Watch Resolved signature check box.
    
2. Lab Orders Open:  To clear any open lab orders you must enter the lab results.
    
3. Pharmacists Notes:  The Pharmacists note is activated by the Pharmacists selecting the Attention Required checkbox on the report.  Pharmacists reports are found in the residents file listed in the Consultants & Nursing section.  An authorized person can go to the Pharmacists Review and clear the Pharmacists alert by checking the Clear Shift Change Notice signature.
