We've previously posted about how goals of care designations can be viewed, modified and maintained in Connect Care.
The order composer used to record a goals of care designation (GCD) has been enhanced (now available in all Connect Care modules) (click the icon to view the screenshot; below numbers correspond to numbers in screenshot).
- Embedded summaries about the attributes of a particular GCD are more consistent and informative.
- Links are provided to clinician-friendly GCD definitions as well as to guidance about goals of care workflows.
- Clinicians can select more than one participant for GCD decisions, as appropriate.
- A goals of care tracking record entry can be generated from a link embedded in the GCD order.
Goals of Care Designations persist across encounters, but need to be re-validated at the beginning of in-patient encounters.
