Things to Remember Don’t ever use Merge View in OB. Check to see if you are on the correct FIN before placing a PowerPlan.

Review the plan and make sure that the defaulted orders (and your saved favorites) match the care that is needed for the patient. Uncheck orders that do not match the needs of the patient. Next

Things to Remember Initiating a PowerPlan means that you intend for the plan to be put into use for the patient immediately. Putting a PowerPlan into a planned state means that the patient is not ready for the orders in the plan at this time (i.e.. Patient not admitted yet, patient not post partum yet).

If a PowerPlan has been initiated, select the plan in the View window so the orders display on the right. Then use the +Add to Phase button to add orders to the plan. Orders added to the plan using the +Add to Phase button will be discontinued when the plan is discontinued. Orders added individually outside the plan will not be discontinued when the plan is discontinued. Next
