Display Board View

Viewing and Customizing the Display Board

Your site can configure one or more display boards, depending on its needs. The Display Board view offers a PC- or workstation-based preview of your site’s main electronic whiteboard display configuration. If you have access to this view, you can customize it as you would any other grid-based view:

• Arrange columns
• Resize columns
• Sort information within columns

See the “Work with Data Grids” section of this document for information about how to arrange, resize, and sort within columns.

Sorting information within columns in the PC-based Display Board view does not cause EDIS to similarly sort information in large electronic (LCD) whiteboard display columns. EDIS sorts large display columns first in the order of the rooms and areas listed in the Room / Area configuration subview and then in the order of patients’ acuities.

You cannot save layout changes you make from within this view. Further, the changes you make appear only on your local machine (as opposed to the large display). To request permanent changes in the display-board view, please contact the person who configures EDIS for your site (usually an I RM or CAC staff member).

Viewing the Display Board

The PC-based Display Board view contains only the columns your site has selected for its main display board. Following is a list of the columns from which your site can choose:

• Room / Bed: patients’ room or bed assignments
• Patient Name: patients’ names
• Complaint: patients’ display-board complaints
• Visit: a check box that indicates whether or not EDIS has created a visit in CPRS
• Status: patients’ statuses
• Provider Initials: providers’ initials
• Nurse Initials: nurses’ initials
• Lab Active/Complete: the total number of patients’ active laboratory orders relative to the total number of their completed laboratory orders
• Imaging Active/Complete: the total number of patients’ active imaging orders relative to the total number of their completed imaging orders
• New (Unverified) Orders: patients’ unverified orders (values decrement when nurses verify the orders in CPRS and when ancillary services [lab and imaging] complete the orders)
• Minutes at Location: the total number of minutes patients have been in their present locations

EDIS displays information only for laboratory, imaging, and new orders that are associated with patients’ current emergency-department visits.
