  • Pos
• Urine-related fields are grouped beneath a Urine parent header:

  • Glu

• Hovering over abbreviated, grouped, or sub-field headers displays the complete field name.
• A new Pain column appears immediately after Wt.
• A new Edema column appears immediately after Pain.
• Pain and Edema can be entered during note documentation and are retained when the note is saved.
• On-screen visit dates now display in MM/DD/YY format.
• Existing and newly documented visit rows use the updated on-screen date presentation.
• The underlying field names, clinical values, and stored dates remain unchanged.

How It Works

• Open a Progress Note or Provider Note containing the Prenatal Flow Sheet.
• The flow sheet displays the updated abbreviated and grouped column headers to provide a more compact on-screen layout.
• Hover over an abbreviated or grouped header to view its complete field name.
• Enter Pain and Edema information alongside the existing prenatal visit information when applicable.
• Save the note to retain the entered Pain and Edema values within the visit row.
• Print or fax the Prenatal Flow Sheet when the complete clinical record is required.

Benefits

• Reduces horizontal scrolling by presenting commonly used OB terminology in a more compact format.
• Uses familiar obstetric abbreviations to make the flow sheet easier for providers to scan during prenatal encounters.
• Groups related Cervix and Urine information for easier review.
• Adds dedicated Pain and Edema fields so these findings can be documented and trended alongside other prenatal information.
• Provides full field names through tooltips without requiring additional screen space.
• Preserves complete, unabbreviated information in printed and faxed records.
• Ensures off-screen information is included when prenatal documentation is printed or faxed.
