Tasks in the Task list are organized by role and order type. The tasks that apply to your role appear at the top of the Task list.

 

Tasks include these categories: Scheduled tasks, Continuous tasks, and PRN tasks. In each category, tasks are ordered by clinical order type name and then the scheduled completion time. Tasks for the current date appear by default. You can view the list by:

  • Due — Current-day tasks that are overdue or due in the next half hour, and TBD (loosely scheduled) tasks
  • PRN — Current-day PRN (as needed) tasks
  • All — All tasks, both current and future tasks

Continuous nursing tasks are not included in the count at the top of the page.

 

You can mark tasks as Complete, not done, reschedule, or edit a task. When you mark a TBD task complete, athenaOne updates the number of instances remaining for the day.
