Display Board View

## Viewing and Customizing the Display Board

The application's Display Board view offers a PC- or workstation-based preview of your site’s main electronic white-board display configuration. (You can create multiple large display boards, however the application displays only your sites main board in its Display Board view.) If you have access to this view, you can customize it as you would any other grid-based view:

- Arrange columns
- Resize columns
- Sort information within columns

You cannot save the layout changes you make from within this view. Further, the changes you make appear only on your local machine (as opposed to appearing on the large—or big-board—display). Please contact the person who configures EDIS for your site (usually an information resource manager [IRM] or clinical application coordinator [CAC]) to request permanent changes to your site's large displays..

The Display Board view.

### Viewing the Display Board

The PC-based Display Board view contains only the columns your site has selected for its main display board. Following is a list of the columns from which your site can choose:

- Room / Bed: patients’ room or bed assignments
- Clinic: the emergency department’s clinic locations
- Patient Name: patients’ names
- Patient X9999: an alternative way to display patients’ names (the first letter of patients’ surnames concatenated with the last four digits of their Social Security numbers)
- Visit Created: a check box that indicates whether or not EDIS has created a visit in CPRS
- Comment: optional comments
- Complaint: patients’ display-board complaints
- Provider Initials: providers’ initials
- Resident Initials: residents’ initials
- Nurse Initials: nurses’ initials
- Acuity: patients’ acuities
- Status: patients’ statuses
- Lab Active/Complete: the total number of patients’ active laboratory orders relative to the total number of their completed laboratory orders
- Imaging Active/Complete: the total number of patients’ active imaging orders relative to the total number of their completed imaging orders
- New (Unverified) Orders: patients’ unverified orders (values decrement when nurses verify the orders in CPRS and when ancillary services [lab and imaging] complete the orders)
- Total Minutes: the total number of minutes patients have been in the emergency department
- Minutes at Location: the total number of minutes patients have been in their present locations

Note: | EDIS displays information only for laboratory, imaging, and new orders that are associated with patients’ current emergency-department visits

### Customizing Your View

#### Reposition Display Board Columns

Use a drag-and-drop operation to reposition columns:

1. Click the header of a column you want to reposition.
2. Holding down your mouse button, drag the column header to its new location.
3. Release your mouse button.

#### Resize Display Board Columns

Use a drag-and-drop operation to resize display board columns:

1. Point your mouse at the border of the column you want to resize.
2. When your mouse pointer becomes a slider (), hold down your right mouse button and drag the boarder to resize the column.
3. Release your mouse button.

#### Sort Information within Columns

- Click a column header to sort the information within the column in descending order.
- Click the column header again to sort the column’s contents in ascending order.

Note: | Sorting information within columns in the PC-based Display Board view does not cause EDIS to similarly sort information in large—or big-board display—columns. EDIS sorts big-board display columns first in the order of the rooms and areas listed in the Room / Area configuration subview and then in the order of patients’ acuities.
