General condition for the month Stable, Recovering etc.


Our computer has a printout of any time frame you desire with all the info needed to fill out the above from.

i.e 02/01/2207 - 02/28/2007. It has all the pre and post info. B/P's pre/post wts, wt gain, EDW at the top, etc.

I am at a Fresenius unit now but Davita has a similiar, although much more extensive report, with labs etc on it too.

We put it sideways on the page and can get 3-4months on one sheet of paper so we can see any trends.

Good luck
