<b>Entering Vitals Data for One Patient</b>
<?rh-implicit_p ?>This procedure will help you enter a patient’s vitals
for more than one date or time in a single session. You can also see the
latest vitals on file for the patient as you enter the new values.
<?rh-implicit_p ?>If you need to enter the same vitals for more than one
patient, it may be easier to <a href="VITALSEntering_Data_for_Multiple_Patie.htm">enter
data for multiple patients</a>.
<?rh-implicit_p ?><b><i>To enter vitals for one patient at a time:</i></b>
<ol>
<li>In the main Vitals window, <a href="VITALSSelecting_a_Patient.htm">select</a>
a patient. The patient information opens in the Vitals window, showing
existing vitals data on a graph and in a spreadsheet-like grid on
the right side of the window. </li>
<li>Click the <b>Enter Vitals</b> button above the graph. The Hospital
Location Selector opens. <b>Note:</b> if the patient is associated
with a hospital location, you will skip to step 4. </li>
<li>Click one of the following three tabs to select a location: </li>
</ol>
The <b>Appointments</b> tab lists all appointments for this patient for
the last year. Click an appointment to select that clinic location.
<?rh-implicit_p ?>The <b>Admissions</b> tab lists all existing admissions
for this patient. Click an admission to select that hospital location.
<?rh-implicit_p ?>The <b>Name</b> tab allows you to search for all available
hospital locations. Enter the first few letters of the location name to

</ol>
Click the <b>Read Monitor</b> button to retrieve vital sign readings from
a vital sign monitor (VSM) connected to the workstation.
<?rh-implicit_p ?>Click the <b>Date/Time</b> button to select a different
date or different time.

different location.
<?rh-implicit_p ?>Click the <b>Exp. View</b> button to display or hide
the <a href="VITALSAbout_Templates.htm">Templates</a> panel. To select
a template, click any template name in the list. If no template has been
selected, the default System template will be used.
<?rh-implicit_p ?>You can also display or hide the latest vitals on file
for this patient by clicking the <b>Latest V.</b> button. The vitals data
will be shown at the bottom of the Enter Vitals window.
<ol start="5">
<li>Type a value for each vital sign or measurement, then press <b>Enter</b>
to move to the next field. If you would like to select a different
qualifier for a vital sign, click the down-arrow button to display
a list of its qualifiers. </li>
</ol>
To enter a non-numeric value for a particular vital sign or measurement,
use one of these <a href="VITALSIf_vitals_data_is_unavailable.htm">options</a>.
<ol start="6">

repeat steps 4–6 using a different date, time, and/or location. </li>
</ol>

prompted to confirm the cancellation.
