1. Accessing iView I&O 2G
To access iView , open a patient’s chart in eKiDs PowerChart by double clicking on the patient’s name in the PAL or Patient List.
This will open the selected patient’s chart where you can select the iView I & O 2G chart tab in the menu.

2. Components of iView I&O 2G
The Interactive View or iView (iView/I&O 2G) is an interactive spreadsheet within eKiDs PowerChart .
It provides clinicians with a means of viewing, documenting and monitoring a wide variety of patient data in a single area.
From iView you can:
Customize what sections are displayed
Select what data is included
Decide how that data is organized
You can directly chart and view result details from iView, however, documentation completed by Students will remain in an “unauthenticated” status until reviewed by those with authority to approve.

3. Components of iView I&O 2G
iView I & O 2G is located on the menu bar within the patient’s chart. It is a means of viewing a wide variety of patient data in a single area.

4. Components of iView I&O 2G
Two major sections of iView are
#1 The Navigator
The navigator is a table of contents for iView that displays the different views available to you.
Each individual view within the Navigator is called a Band.

In addition to routine flowsheet documentation there are additional features available that will assist in documentation ease and functionality. These include:
 Dynamic Groups
Conditional Logic
Activity View Functionality

51. Complex iView Charting
Dynamic Group Dynamic Groups are used to create multiple instances within a section for the same types of documentation within iView and I & O 2G. Only those bands that can have the same types of documentation contain the dynamic group icon. As many sections as necessary can be created to define each instance needed for results.

52. Complex iView Charting
Dynamic Group A pop up box will allow you to label the group. This allows results to be added and then reviewed more easily ensuring documentation is completed in the correct section.
When documenting on an existing Dynamic Group examine the title and ensure it is the label that corresponds to the data you wish to document.

53. Complex iView Charting
Inactivating a Dynamic Group If a Dynamic Group has been created or is no longer needed it may be deactivated so that no additional charting can be added to that group. Example: Pain no longer indicated in left finger.

54. Complex iView 2G Charting
Conditional Logic Conditional Logic Icons are located within various sections in iView. When documenting the results in the cells associated with the Conditional Logic icon, there are certain results that will automatically generate conditional logic. These are additional questions to be resulted.
In this example when the Activity of ‘Retracting’ was is selected, ‘Retraction Location’ and ‘Retraction Severity’ were automatically generated.
