Change the Order of Items in the Flowsheet Setup Grid by Item

  1. Access the Flowsheets Setup practice template.
  2. Select Change Item Order check box in the Metrics Flowsheet Items section.
    The Metrics Flowsheet Items grid refreshes to display items in the order currently setup in the flowsheet, along with their categories.

  3. Select the row displaying the item (and its category) that you want to move. For example, select the item Cholesterol, total , which has the category Lab Test. The item sort number for Cholesterol, total is 6.

    The current order for Lab Test category in this illustration is:
    • Triglycerides
    • Hemoglobin A1c
    • Creatinine, serum
    • Glom Filt Rate, Estimated
    • Microalb/creat ratio
    • Cholesterol, total
  4. Click the row item that you want to move the selected item and its category to. For example, select the row with Lab Test Triglycerides.
    The Item Sort number for Triglycerides is 1. The Choloesterol, total item moves to the row where Triglycerides was, and all other items moved down one row. The grid refreshes to display all metrics flowsheet items in their new order, based on the new order of the item moved and their Item Sort value. The Item Sort number for Cholesterol, total now is 1. The Change Item Order check box automatically clears.

    The new order in this illustration is:
    • Cholesterol, toal
    • Triglycerides
    • Hemoglobin A1c
    • Creatinine, serum
    • Glom Filt Rate, Estimated
    • Microalb/creat ratio
