Multiple reading fields

The following fields support multiple entries:

Weight: Click a weight field in the table. In the form below, click Add Additional Weight.
Blood Pressure: Click a blood pressure field in the flowsheet. In the form below, update blood pressure values.

Multiple fetuses

If your patient is carrying multiple fetuses, access the Pregnancy Information section beneath the flowsheet. In Number of Fetuses, enter this number.

When you indicate multiple fetuses, additional Presentation, Fetal Heart Rate, and Fetal Movement columns appear in the flowsheet to monitor the health of each fetus.

Note
Additional sections also appear in Delivery Details to record information for each infant after delivery. For more information, see Delivery Details.

Read-only fields

When adding a row to the flowsheet, athenaOne automatically populates the following fields, which are not editable:

Gestational Age: athenaOne pre-populates this field if you've entered the final or initial estimated date of delivery (EDD) in the Pregnancy Information section.

Note
If you change the EDD for the patient during an encounter, athenaOne recalculates the gestational age in the current encounter row, but retains the gestational age calculated for previous encounters.
Provider: athenaOne automatically enters the name of the provider associated with the encounter. If you manually add a row to the table, the Provider field is blank by default.
Date: When athenaOne automatically adds a row for the current encounter, it includes the current date in this field, which is read only. If you manually add a row to the flowsheet, you can edit the date field in that row.

Notes field features

If text in the Notes field exceeds two rows, the note text truncates and View More appears in the field. Click to view the note in full.

The Notes field in the Prenatal Flowsheet supports text macros.

Weight deltas

Weight deltas appear next to each weight entry, showing you the change that occurred since the previous reading. The total weight delta appears beneath the column heading.

Total weight delta and the initial weight delta are calculated from the pre-pregnancy weight documented in the Pregnancy Information section.

Weight units

Your clinic administrator configures the weight units that appear in the Prenatal Visits flowsheet, such as pounds and ounces or kilograms. See Customize Fields in Prenatal Flowsheet Forms for details.

Reorder Prenatal Visit columns

In Reorder Prenatal Visits Columns, drag-and-drop columns to modify their order of appearance in the flowsheet. Click Save Changes to apply your updates.

Note
Date and Gestational Age columns will always appear at the beginning of the flowsheet by default and cannot be reordered.

Note
The default column order that appears before you customize it is the general order athenahealth recommends. You can only reorder columns that are enabled for your practice. Practice managers or clinic administrators can determine the fields that appear from the Prenatal Flowsheet admin page. For more information, see Prenatal Visits customizations.
