Confirming the Patient:
CIS STATUS MESSAGE: CIS STATUS MESSAGE:
“CONFIRM PT” (flashing) Displays Confirmed Patient’s Name and Identification
Once the query has been performed, the CIS Communication Module will display the results of
that query in the CIS display zone. The results should be checked for accuracy and the name/ID
verified as correct. If the information matches the patient that will be monitored, select the
“Confirm This Patient” option from the CIS menu display. All results gathered since the new
patient record was initialized, as well as all future data, will be sent to this patient record (refer to
section “Filing Vital Signs / Results” for instructions regarding sending vital sign information).
Note that the CIS status message area will change from the flashing “CONFIRM PT” message to
constantly displaying the confirmed patient’s name and identification number (NOTE: The
display of the identification number depends upon type of monitor). This is used to signify that a
confirmed patient is present at the monitor. This is especially useful under circumstances where
the CIS menu is not continuously displayed in the Trace 2 waveform zone. The confirmed
patient’s name should be checked every time vital signs are taken to ensure that the data
will be filed under the correct patient record. If at any time during the monitoring of the
Patient, the CIS message line begins to flash, place the CIS menu in to the Trace 2 position to
gather additional information regarding steps that need to be taken.
Filing Vital Signs / Results
After a patient has been confirmed, all vital signs data is sent to the corresponding patient record
in the CIS. This section discusses how to tailor the monitor to send the vital sign information in
the desired intervals for each patient. After the patient confirmation is completed, the following
CIS menu will be presented:
F1-FILING MODE: REVIEW: FINAL
F2-ENTER VITAL SIGNS
F3-CURRENT PATIENT INFO
F4-NEW PATIENT
Selecting the Appropriate Filing Mode:
The “Filing Mode” selection determines how the vitals signs information will be filed at the
Clinical Information System. There are two filing modes available to choose from, FINAL or
REVIEW. Selecting the “Final” filing mode will cause all patient vital signs information to be
filed directly into the patient record. The “Review” filing mode will place all patient vital signs
information into a section of the Clinical Information System that can be reviewed by the nursing
staff before being filed into the patient record. This provides the opportunity to review the vital
signs information and eliminate any invalid entries before they are filed into the patient’s record.
To change the filing mode:
1. Select the softkey adjacent to the CIS parameter label in order to display the CIS Menu
softkeys at the bottom of the monitor.
2. Press the F1 softkey to adjust the filing mode. The mode will toggle between REVIEW and
FINAL.
