Respiratory Therapy Libraries

Similar to other Hi-Tech Software Solutions products, the Respiratory Therapy System facilitates documentation by allowing you to select information from libraries.

Libraries allow you to:

• Record information in a format required by government agencies.
• Record information in familiar words that your staff understands.
• Select and edit frequently-used responses rather than continually re-describe similar events and conditions that tend to recur.
• Standardize responses for easier sorting and for statistical and management reporting.

The Respiratory Therapy System uses the following libraries:

Procedures: Identify the Respiratory Therapy procedures that your therapists will perform. Build a resident’s Respiratory Therapy Schedule from this library.

• Describe the procedure in language your therapists understand.
• Create sub-procedures.
• Define standard minutes, number of units/occurrences, required or optional readings, and minimum number of times to be performed per shift.
• Define standard responses that help you record readings, i.e., secretion colors and amounts.
• Identify supplies used for procedures and sub-procedures.
• Sort the library so procedures performed most often display first.
• Identify Cost Centers, Items numbers and HCPC codes for billing.

Supplies: Identify the supplies to be used in Respiratory Therapy procedures.
Provide Cost Center and Item number for billing purposes.

Notes: Create templates and standardized blocks of frequently-used text to be used in residents’ Respiratory Therapy Notes.
