This is in the ER.

Room number, patient last name and first initial if the last name is short, a symbol for status (coming but not there yet, waiting room, triage room, active, going upstairs, going home, room empty), a symbol for what they are there for, a symbol for how many tests are ordered, a symbol in a different column for how tests are in progress, the colors of the test symbols change when the results are back, which doctor, and which nurse (by abbreviated name and that box is color blocked).

I'm a student volunteering, not a nurse. There are a few more columns. I do not know what they represent, I've never noticed anything in them. It is also possible I forgot a column that has info. The columns do not have headers, and the symbols are not ones a lay person is likely to recognize (except the "going home" is a house, they could probably get that one). The room number and pt name are obvious. Doctor and nurse names have few letters so although it isn't too hard to figure out that they represent drs and/or nurses, you'd have to know who was working to know which people each set of letters represents.

I work in an ER,..I remember the days of the erase board!! We use Medhost now!

I work in a LTC facility. We don't even have dry-erase boards.

Some patients it would be a good idea with. Others who aren't oriented to person it would just be a waste of time.

Our ER electronic board has room number and the nurse whose zone it is, pt initials (no full names per HIPAA), acuity, MD's intials, Nurse's name, and things requested to be done: there is a symbol for oral contrast, blood, urine, stool specimans, radiology, admission, etc. There is a space for room condition: hold for EMS or triage, housekeeping, unavailable, etc. There is a spot that says results are back as well.

I forgot time elapsed since admittance, symbols for allergies, and a wide column for various things such as medications. It doesn't tell what allergies, meds, and so on - just that there are some. People look up the specifics on the small computers.
