Purpose
The Assessment Scoring report can help your organization to evaluate patient acuity and patient care needs. It is helpful to have the data in this report when you are determining improvements for process and care delivery. The report displays numeric score data from the PatientTracking Portal® list views about patients. Examples are Waterlow or Braden scores and Early Warning Sign (EWS) scores. Data is grouped by patient or by unit.
Note: See About the Report Data for restrictions concerning the data that appears.
Report Parameters
Criteria selected when the report was being generated appear under Report Parameters. An example is the name of the campus selected when the report was generated.
About the Report Data
The user who generates the report can select specific units. Only data about patients with home locations in the selected units appears on the report. If no specific units were selected, all units in the selected campus can appear on the report.
The user who generates the report can select specific patients to appear on the report. If no specific patients were selected, then all patients who have home locations in the selected units appear on the report.
A specific "score type," such as Early Warning Sign (EWS), Braden, or Waterlow, is selected for the report. Only data about the selected score type appears on the report.
A date range and time period is selected when the report is generated. Only scores that were entered into a PatientTracking Portal® list view during that date range and time period appear on the report.
Data can be grouped by patient or by unit. If it is grouped by patient, then there is a section for each patient showing the patient's score, the date and time that the score was entered into a PatientTracking Portal® list view, and the unit with the patient's home location. If date is grouped by unit, then there is a section for each unit showing the patients with home locations in that unit, their scores, and the date and time that the score was entered into a PatientTracking Portal® list view.
