Students should put in the social history. Most of the social history will come from calling close contacts and gathering collateral information. Use the dot phrase .socdoc in Epic to pull up a template with the information that needs to be included in the social history.

In order to find a dot phrase in Epic: click Tools–> drag Smart Phrase Manager in to the tool bar–> Open Smart Phrase Manager–>change the user to someone that has the dot phrase (ie any of the residents in the format Last name, First name)–>Click add Smart Phrase.

If you need a translator to talk to a family member, use one of the hospital phones and dial 9-210-358-1100 before calling the family member. Follow the telephone prompts. The translator can then dial the person you are trying to reach.

Unless the resident asks you to put the social history in a specific place in Epic, you can record all the social history and all other collateral information within a collateral note. Use the dot phrase .psycollateral to get the template. (If you don't have that dot phrase yet, use the same process detailed above to get access to that dot phrase.)

Students should update the hospital course. The hospital course is just a summary of what medications the patient was started on, any dose adjustments that needed to be made, and how the patient improved over the course of the hospitalization. Use the hospital course summary template found in the S drive titled “HCRA ss version.”

In order to get to the S drive: click the windows icon–> click the paper icon in the left corner (if you hover over it, it will say documents)–> click this PC–> click data(\\uhsdata) (S:)

• Students can really help the residents by making sure that signout stays up to date. Signout is a list of all the patients with a summary of their scheduled medications, prn medications, and remaining To-Dos for the residents.
• To get to the S drive, open the documents file folder from the desktop. Click This PC, then click data (\\uhsdata) (S:), then click managed, then click Psychiatric Services, then click ed materials, and then click Hand Off. Open the file called Database1. If you do not have access to this file, you can ask Melissa, the Care Coordinator for help. Once you do have access to the file called Database1 (this is the signout), be sure to add yourself as the student to the appropriate team. In order to do this, open signout and click the button that says “Edit Team Assignments.” Pick your team color (if you do not have a color team assigned yet, a resident will assign you to a team on your first day). In the row that says “students,” click “add” and add your name and year (ie MS3).

• The resident can copy the hospital course into epic. The hospital course section is hidden above the problem list.
• Click the problem list tab and scroll up to reveal the hospital course section.

You do not need to include every prn and order. The hospital course needs to communicate the major events during the hospitalizations. This often includes consults, medical issues, and a general idea of patients response to medications. A risk assessment should also be included.
