Keywords are a powerful tool in Ocean that help you to automate patient form completion and clinical notes. Today, we want to highlight one of the most helpful features of keywords: using them in tablet rules to automatically load specific forms for a patient.
Here are some examples of keyword-based tablet rules that could be useful for your clinic*:
- Mammogram Reminder eForm for female patients who recently turned 50
- PSA on the risks and benefits of prostate cancer screening for male patients just turning 50
- PHQ-9 for patients who indicate “mental health” as their reason of visit on intake forms
- Various ndds well-baby screens (now known as the LookSee Checklist by ndds) depending on a newborn’s age
- Diabetes Visit Form for patients diagnosed with diabetes who are monitoring their condition
With this feature of Ocean, you can save time, cut down on manual administrative burden, and ensure your patients receive the correct forms based on their demographics. Depending on how you configure your tablet rules, the forms can load once a patient checks in using a Ocean Check-In Kiosk, or alongside other pre-loaded forms when handed an Ocean Tablet in staff-initiated mode. With this level of specificity, you can provide customized and relevant reminders for patients without “needing to remember every time”
