Patient tags draw attention to a patient's specific condition, status, or special care needs. Staff tags indicate a staff member's special skills or responsibilities. A Tag Usage Report can be run for either Staff or Patient Tags. Note: Tags need to be manually kept up to date to ensure the information is accurate.
Patient tags can be set up to remain attached to the patient, either for the shift on which they were added or for the entire patient stay on the unit. Defaults can be adjusted when the tags are added or edited, if necessary. Patient tags are not retained when the patient transfers out of the unit that assigned the tag.
Staff attributes that affect the way staff members interact with patients can be configured as staff tags. There are two tags: manually assigned and automatically assigned.
Automatic tags that are generated based on skills and certifications can be viewed on the Assignments tab but not altered.
Manually applied tags can be added or deleted from the Staff Tags pop-up menu.
