Linking a Problem to a Flowsheet

Linking a problem to a flowsheet does not actually add the problem to a flowsheet (you still don’t see the problem on the flowsheet, only the other items added to the flowsheet).

• If you create a flowsheet and add a problem- but no other items, then basically nothing happens since the problem never shows, only the other items

• If you create a flowsheet and add a problem along with orderable items, each time that problem is added to a patient, then 2 things occur:
  • HMP adds those orderable items to HMP- HM View – no values yet but are there to ‘prompt’ the user to consider them
  • In Flowsheet view, the flowsheet shows with those orderable items (if no results yet, then you need to ‘show blank rows’ to view)
