Vitals — Setup & FAQ
Quick charting for BP/HR, Temp, SpO2, Glucose, RR, Pain. Private to your Circle. No ads, no resale of data.
How it works (simple)
- Identity is automatically synchronized across all healthcare modules (Vitals, ADLs, MAR, etc.).
- Choose the day (Today / Prev / Next).
- Tap a card (BP/HR, Temp, SpO2, Glucose, RR, Pain) and enter the reading. Mark “Refused” when applicable.
- Save. The newest entry appears in “Records”. Abnormal values show red, normal green, refused purple.
- Clinical Scoring: The system now automatically calculates Clinical Intelligence Scores based on vital trends to detect early worsening.
- Closed-Loop Outcome: Every abnormal vital starts a "Resolution Task" that must be acknowledged by the care team to ensure no clinical event is ever ignored.
- Circle Bot: Ask the AI: "How are the vitals trending?" for a real-time clinical summary.
- Use “Records > Show 24 hours / 6 months” for quick review.
Where do readings come from?
- Manual entry: type readings from your devices into the modal.
- Devices: home BP cuffs, pulse oximeters, thermometers, glucometers, or bedside monitors (enter values manually today).
- Synchronization: when you switch or rename a patient in MAR/MTR, it reflects here instantly.
What we record / What we never collect
What we record
- Reading values (e.g., 120/80 mmHg, 98% SpO2, 37.0 °C, 110 mg/dL).
- Units/methods if provided (°C/°F, posture, O2 source, site, notes).
- Refused flag (when you mark it).
- Timestamp and patient/resident tag.
What we never collect
- No message contents or passwords.
- No keystroke, microphone, or camera recordings.
- No advertising trackers; no data resale.
- No device pairing/BIOS info—values are entered by you.
Care team retains control. Delete entries as required by your retention policy.
Privacy & safety tips
- Be transparent: tell residents and families how Vitals is used (safety & care).
- Collect the minimum: only record values needed for care and audits.
- Confirm time zone: the toolbar shows your current TZ; adjust if your site differs.
- Document refusals: use the “Refused” checkbox so it’s clearly visible in purple.
- Follow policy: export/delete per facility and state rules as needed.
Troubleshooting
- Can’t save? Make sure the value field isn’t blank and uses numbers (e.g., 98 for SpO2).
- Wrong day? Check the date controls (Today / Prev / Next) in the toolbar.
- Colors look off? Ranges use common adult references; extreme out-of-range shows bold red.
- Need to add a note? Use the I/O area or add a Pain “after meds” note for quick context.
- Wrong Patient? Rename or select the resident in the MTR module; Vitals will sync automatically.
