Harbor:Peds ED follow-up track information

• Place lab checks for any lab that will not result during the patient's visit
  • Examples: urine/throat/wound cultures, urine GC/Chlamydia, pertussis PCR, thyroid function tests
  • Use the ED Post Visit Plan on the Depart Process, choose PED, not PVCC
    • Get a phone number where the patient can be reached best
      • This is especially important for adolescents and young adults with STI testing
    • Click Lab/Radiology follow-up
    • Specify result to be checked and plan
    • If you don't do this while the patient is still on the track, you need to do an extra step: Events→Request Event→ED Post Visit Peds, or else they will not be on the f/u track (HAR Follow Up)
• You can order phone f/u calls to check on patient's symptoms
  • Do as for lab check above, except check Symptom Follow-up and specify what symptoms to ask about
• If a patient can be seen at Harbor (not OOP), you can put in for a referral
  • Do as for lab check above, except check Referral and specify what referral is needed
• Phone and lab checks will be done by NPs on Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri and by the 10am-7:30pm intern / resident on Wed, Sat, Sun, holidays
• Detailed instructions are in a binder labeled "F/U Instructions" in the PED, and on Pemsource.org on the Harbor page
