Progress Notes
- Daily notes
– descriptive document that chronicles a patient’s hospital course – Brief, not meant to be a repeated H&P – Highlight important data – Express clear clinical impression
Shaping the Future of Healthcare | www.thewrightcenter.org
Progress Notes
- Basic Format is a S.O.A.P. note
– Subjective Information – Objective Data – Assessment of Clinical Picture – Plan of Care

Common Daily Orders
Electrolyte Replacement
- Potassium
– (goal 4-4.5)-do not replete if pt is on HD – Example Order – KDUR 20meq PO Q.I.D. x 1 day (MAKE SURE YOU PUT AN END TIME ON ORDER) – 10mEq of K raises serum K by 0.1mmol.
- For mild renal failure, cut the dose in half.
- For severe renal failure (CrCl<30) ask senior resident for help.
- Administration Consideration
– PO tabs are huge – Liquid tastes gross, fast-acting – IV can be painful through a peripheral line. Go Slow
- KCL 20mEq in 100ml sterile H20 IV, run at rate of 10mEq/hr
– Ideally run through a Central line – Can be added to maintenance IVF
Shaping the Future of Healthcare | www.thewrightcenter.org
Common Daily Orders
Electrolyte Replacement
- Magnesium (goal>2)-do not replete in HD
– 1 g of Mg will raise Mg level by 0.1. – PO: Mag Oxide.
- Causes diarrhea, consider not replacing if K+ is WNL
- Mag oxide 400mg PO BID (x4 doses if Mg 1.5-1.7, x6 if
<1.4) – IV: Mag Sulfate
- 8mEq if Mg 1.6-1.9
- 16mEq if 1.3-1.5
- 32mEq if 1-1.2
In 100 ml D5W In 250ml D5W

Common Daily Orders
Electrolyte Replacement
- Phosphate (goal 3-4.5, usually replace if <2.5)
- Replacement options
– Neutraphos 1 packet PO TID x 1 day – Kphos 1-2 Tabs PO QID x 1 day – Kphos 15mmol in 100ml NS IV, infuse over 6 hrs, x 2 doses
Shaping the Future of Healthcare | www.thewrightcenter.org
Common Daily Orders
Electrolyte Replacement
- Calcium (goal 8.5-10) –don’t replete in HD unless dangerously low and nephrologist aware
- Remember to correct for albumin.
– Corr. Calcium=Ca + 0.8 x(4-Alb)
- Be very cautious when giving Calcium- Can precipitate MI, HypoTN, arrythmia etc
- Indicated when decreased level causing increased QTC, seizure, arrhythmia
- PO:
– Tums – Calcium Carbonate 500mg PO BID/QID for 1-2 grams total
- IV:
– Calcium Gluconate 1-2g IV runs (1st choice for peripheral IV) – Calcium Chloride 1-2g IV runs (through central IV’s only ~4-5x as potent!)

Discharge Summary
- A vital tool for transferring information
between the hospitalist and primary care physician
- Extremely important for continuity of
care
- Discharge planning should start at the
time of admission
Shaping the Future of Healthcare | www.thewrightcenter.org
Discharge Summary
- The Joint Commission mandates that discharge
summaries contain certain components:
– reason for hospitalization – significant findings – procedures – treatment provided – patient’s discharge condition – patient and family instructions – attending physician’s signature
Shaping the Future of Healthcare | www.thewrightcenter.org
Discharge Summary
- Research suggests summaries contain
insufficient or unnecessary information and fail to reach the primary care physician in time for the patient’s follow-up visit, if they arrive at all.
- Delay can cause
– patient harm/frustration – repeated and unnecessary tests – medical error
Shaping the Future of Healthcare | www.thewrightcenter.org
Discharge Summary
- A structured, standard discharge summary
form ensures that all the important information is included
- Allows the receiving physician to more quickly
identify how to respond to the patient’s hospitalization
- Should be completed within 24 hours of
discharge
Shaping the Future of Healthcare | www.thewrightcenter.org

Important Notes for DC
- As residents we often take patients who do
not have a PCP
- These patients are frequently asked to follow
up at a WCGME clinic
- If that is the case YOU MUST
– call the clinic – make an appointment for the patient – Relay any FU instructions/tests patient is scheduled for to the proper care coordinator
Shaping the Future of Healthcare | www.thewrightcenter.org
Important Notes for DC
- Patients on COUMADIN or INSULIN
– NEED to have inr, coumadin dose or insulin regiment communicated verbally to the clinic via telephone – Very important for patient safety
