•
•
•
Using the multi‐graphing tool, you can select clinical data (Lab Results, Medications,
and Vitals) to display in a table (as shown below), and to create a basic flowsheet.
You can save your settings as a snapshot for reuse with other patient data. See the
section on “Multi‐Graphing Clinical Data” in the Physician Portal User’s Guide for more
information.
To create a Flowsheet using Snapshots:
1.Select a patient and the desired timeframe from the either the Meds, Vitals, or Labs
Summary screen.
2.Click the Graph icon on the upper right corner of the summary screen:
3.Click Clear if previous data was displayed. Click on labs, meds, or vitals to graph or
display in a table (multiples can be selected of each) and name the Snapshot.
4.Save the snapshot. Make this the default if desired.
5.Use the Manage Snapshots link to delete,sort, or rename snapshots.
Flowsheets for Labs,
Medications, and Vitals
Clinical Results Updates
(Several Modules)
When a filter is applied, we now list XX of NN in the header where
the number of items appears. This change was made to allow us to
know that we are only seeing a portion of the total data.
This update was made in:
Clinical Notes
Medications
Lab Results
Order Status
Test Results
Clinical Notes
The time the note was entered was added to the summary screen., and
the column header label was changed from Date to Date/Time.
You can now select more than one filter when limiting the display of the
Clinical Notes.
Clinical Notes (Cont)
The footer description of signed clinical notes now uses the text
“Electronically Signed by” instead of “Signed By.”
Printed Clinical Notes
 The word Draft has been added to the footer. Previously a large
watermark with the word “Draft “ was printed across the entire
report page.
 Printed Notes now contain additional information such as the patient
name, age, gender, DOB and MRN. Previously only the date of
printing and the signing information was included
Clinical Notes (Cont)
Full support has been added for displaying standard images from
Meditech PDOC reports. These documents are available as PDFs
within PatientKeeper
Medications
The MAR status is now displayed on the Medications orders List screen
to eliminate the need of viewing each medication to see its MAR
information.
The bolding/unbolding feature for viewed and unviewed Medications has
been removed.
Lab Results
 Lab Component names display in their abbreviated or mnemonic
form instead of their full description in the Expanded Panels view
for better view ability and clarity.
 Components are now sorted by Category in the Component Table
view. The category name will display as a header row and the
associated components will be grouped in panels that are listed in
alphabetical order.
Lab Results
 The Lab Component graph now uses the most recent normalcy range in its
display.
 The lab result comment text has been expanded on the pop-up that is
displayed when you hover over an asterisk indicating a comment on the lab
result.
 Lab graphs will no longer be displayed for results that have non numeric
values.
Printed Lab Reports

 The colorized highlighting for Abnormal and Critical values has been
removed.
 Addition lab comments have been added to the report.
 The footer of the report has changed to display “Any laboratory data incorporated
into this document may not be complete as this is not the official patient record. The
original full report is available in Meditech”
Test Results
 Micro blood culture test result comments are now included in the test
results.
 Printed Test Results have been updated to include the Date/Time and
Status on the header of each Test Result page.

 We now have the ability to pull all data from the Pathology
questionnaires, include full descriptions of diagnoses instead of codes
that reference these diagnoses.
Other Clinical Updates

allergies has been removed since allergies are viewed through the
overview screen rather than being viewed individually.
 Vitals – When configured on a system, we have the ability to display
subsets of Vitals by using a Snapshot.

message, even when the user is not logged on to the PK application.
The push notification will only notify the user that there is a message in
PK for viewing.
2) At the time of logon to the PK application or when a sync is processed
when the user logs on.
Messaging Updates with Push
Notifications (where configured)
Inbox Messaging Updates (Note: This is not in use on most HCA
systems)
If Push Notifications is set to Yes for the system, and the mobile device
is also configured with this setting, messages from one PK user to
another are pushed immediately to the handheld devices:
If the handheld user is logged on to PK, a notice is immediately received
indicating that a message was received in the Inbox. The user is prompted
to open the Inbox, and if they open it the latest Inbox message is shown.
If the handheld user is not logged on to PK, they receive a push notification
indicating that they have a message. When the notification is tapped, the
PK app is launched. After logging into PK the Inbox is opened and the latest
Inbox message is shown.

includes the MAR status or a
status of Given or Not Given.
When the status is Not Given,
the Date/Time will be
displayed in strikethrough
text.
Handheld Native – Performing
a Refresh – Apple Devices
• Since all devices are configured to sync automatically on a regular
schedule, the patient information on your device is usually up to date.
• However, if you think some new information might have come in
recently for a particular patient, and you do not want to wait for the
next Automatic Sync to see it, you can do a quick Refresh to retrieve
it. A Refresh retrieves the most recent information for the currently
selected patient, in the current module.
To perform a Refresh,
- Go to the Summary screen for one of these modules: Allergies, Clinical
Notes, I/Os, Lab Results, Medications, Order Status, Test Results, or
Vital Signs.
- Touch the screen anywhere below the heading area, drag down, and
release. The latest information for this patient in this module is quickly
retrieved and displayed.
Handheld Native – Performing
a Refresh – Apple (cont)
Handheld Native – Lab Results –

View, select Menu > Panel Table View.
This view remains
the default until you
choose something
else.

Summary. This feature is available in Allergies, Clinical Notes, Lab
Results, Medications, Order Status and Test Results.
Please see MCR User Guide for additional information
Clinical Notes – PDF Documents
On Apple devices, PDF
documents can be viewed in
Clinical Notes if they are also

tests when the imaging system integration is deployed with an HTML
5 connection.
When this is implemented, the Test Results Summary screen
displays a cloud icon for a report that has an associated image. The
associated display may contain one or more images or videos.
Various controls were added to the bottom of the screen to allow the
user to view the image data by zooming, pausing, or moving to the
next image, etc.
