Completing EHR Diet Order Mapping

Before Diet Order Integration is enabled, EHR Diet Order Mapping must be completed so diet orders can flow one-way from PointClickCare to Nutrition Management accurately. Basically, you are connecting the dots between PointClickCare and Nutrition Management. For example, you define No Added Salt (NAS) in PointClickCare is the same as NAS in Nutrition Management.

A Nutrition Management Administrator user with access to update User Security, must assign the EHR Mapping role to designated user(s) at your facility. Only assign the role to staff who understand the importance of completing the mapping. If mistakes are made, it could impact resident safety. 

The Electronic Health Record (EHR) Diet Type, Diet Texture, and Fluid Consistency must appear in Nutrition Management exactly as they appear in PointClickCare. You must match capitalization, spaces, extra characters, and so on. 

This process consists of multiple steps.

To enable the EHR Mapping Role

  1. Administrator tab > Users.

  2. Select User Name, then click Edit.

  3. Select the EHR Mapping User Role.

To copy the Diet Order Pick Lists from PointClickCare to Nutrition Management - Complete the steps for Diet Type, Diet Texture, and Fluid Consistency.

    • Single facility: Clinical> Setup > Orders > Pick Lists.

    • Multi-facility: Management Console > Care Management > Physician Orders > Pick Lists.

  2. Click on Diet Type, Diet Texture, or Fluid Consistency.

  3. Click Printable View, then copy the list and paste the list into a Word document.

  4. Copy just the description.

  5. Nutrition Management > Administrator tab > EHR Diet Order Mapping.

  6. Select Diet Type, Diet Texture, or Fluid Consistency.

  7. Click Add and paste the PointClickCare Diet Order Pick List into EHR Diet Order Mapping.

  8. Click Save.

To complete the EHR Diet Order Mapping - Complete the steps for Diet Type, Texture, and Fluid Consistency.
