<b>Getting Started with Vitals</b>
<?rh-implicit_p ?>The Vitals application is designed to collect the vital
signs and measurements that are associated with a patient's hospital stay
or outpatient clinic visit, and store the data in the patient's electronic
medical record. Data can be accessed by several VistA (Veterans Health
Information Systems and Technology Architecture) applications that interface
with the Vitals/Measurements application, such as CPRS, Health Summary,
and Pharmacy.
<?rh-implicit_p ?>The Vitals module is used to enter vitals data, create
user templates, view allergies, mark incorrect vitals as entered in error,
and edit user preferences for data display on the vitals data table. The
Vitals module also allows users to print several different Vitals reports.

<?rh-implicit_p ?><b><i>To open the Vitals application:</i></b>
<ol>
<li>Double-click the <b>Vitals</b> icon on your desktop to open the
VistA sign-on window, or select <b>Vitals</b> from the CPRS <b>Tools</b>
menu. </li>
<li>Enter your access and verify codes, then click <b>OK</b>. The main
Vitals window opens. </li>
</ol>
The window layout is saved between sessions, so the last window shown will
be restored when Vitals opens.
<?rh-implicit_p ?><b><i>From the main Vitals window, you can:</i></b>
