- Start in the patient chart, then go to the Admin section to put a patient into isolation or update their isolation status.
- Under the General tab, you can manage Isolation, Quarantine and Unfit for Duty for the patient. Use this section to place a patient into Isolation if the patient is suspected of exposure to a communicable disease.
- Select the Isolation sub tab to manage isolation.
- Add the isolation start date. If it starts today, you can select Now to populate the date 24 hours instantly.
- Enter the anticipated release date for the patient's isolation. A follow-up check for symptoms is typically done after 24 hours.
- The End Date section can be used when it's time to release the patient from isolation.
- Enter the Cabin number where the patient will be isolated. This typically differs from their current cabin if the patient shares with a cabin mate. That way, they isolate alone without putting their cabin mate at risk.
- Enter a reason for the isolation from the menu options.
- If a Next Due Review is needed, select 24 hours, 48 hours, or manually enter the date. This can be tracked on the main dashboard.
- Save your changes.
- End Isolation by adding the end date or selecting Now to end it instantly. Then click Save.
- Confirm ending the isolation.
