Influenza PowerNote

As I lie here listlessly for the 5th day in a row, I am pleased to report that there is a PowerNote that would be useful to document my visit to a physician were I to have the energy to drag myself out. There are now Influenza PowerNote templates for office and hospital, pedi and adult.

As for me, no need for any diagnostic acumen. My 14 year old son had a positive rapid influenza A/B test last week and, given the reports across the country and that I received the seasonal flu vaccine well over a month ago, I'm stuck waiting for H1N1 to leave me the heck alone. Fortunately, the symptoms are low key enough to allow me to avoid an office visit or other CDC-derived suggestions elements you will find in the templates. However, a constant headache with low grade temp and myalgias have kept me supine 95% of my waking hours.

You could probably fly through a routine flu visit using this template. The diagnoses at the bottom actually populate the note with a SNOMED code, saving you a step in the finishing of a note.

And for those of you who wash your hands compulsively as I do when at work, don't play the fool and forget to do the same at home.

PowerNotes Index on CIS Info Site

We continue to make the CIS Information Site the so-called "source of truth" for the what, where and how-to of CIS for all users. We will be posting an index of all PowerNotes that have been created thus far, organizing their titles by venue, that is, by the variety of areas in which they might be used. While I tried to define these divisions as broadly as possible, I would not be surprised if found additional ways of cross-referencing these templates. Let me know what you think.
