Epic dot phrases helpful for COVID-19 patients

(Originally posted on: March 24, 2020

2 dot phrases that might be of value for patients with COVID-19.

 

1.  MHLCOVIDLABTABLE

This incorporates the inflammatory markers that Jen has indicated on the management documents such that you can trend them over time.

The trend is for 3 days.  If you think that more days would be helpful, let me know

 

2.  MHLVENTILATORNOTE

This is a note to use when we are “vent rounding” on patients in the SICU/CVICU, etc.

It can be utilized for a progress note, but I have entered the information for a critical care note at the top.  This critical care note information can be deleted if you are not planning to bill for a critical care note

 

Please feel free to copy my note and use it for yourself.

If you think that anything else would be helpful for these notes, please also let me know.
