Does your client or their family member have questions about the use of anticoagulants in the Nursing Home setting? These drugs are known as Coumadin and Warfarin and need close monitoring. Have you noticed bruising on your loved ones arms, stomach or legs this may be an indication that the dose of coumadin needs adjusting. Inaccurate dosing do to failure to monitor drug levels in the blood can lead to life threatening situations that may not end well. If you have questions and concerns.

    Does your client have questions about what went on in the Emergency Room?  Was there a delay in the transfer of your client to the Hospital floor?  Did that delay result in a 

life-threatening event ending in emergency surgery? Or was your client sent home only to return the next day transported by Emergency Medical Services? Call for a free phone consultation, 567-868-4894. 

     Does your client have questions about what went on at their bedside during their stay in a medical facility?  Concerned with the outcome, I can assist you.  With a review of their chart, I will highlight the events that brought these questions to mind. 

      I can be reached at 567-868-4894 for a free phone consultation.

Just a reminder. When you are charting on the floor in real time and you click sign, save and scan go into the note to be sure you have actually been saved. The systems I have been told are always updating. Just make sure it is there.

The feature that I have come to like the most on my EMR electronic medical record are the pop up requests for charting triggered by entry of drug or task.  At first I thought this is time consuming but now love it.  No more going back to your paper searching for a blood pressure or temperature, now just simply add it as you go and sign. Problem solved.  Once you get into the habit things go much smoother.  Your thoughts.

Investigating Electronic Health Records do we have everything in place?
