Deprecation of Isolation Precaution OrdersBeginning Monday, August 14, 2023, all isolation precaution orders will be deprecated, and updates to a patients isolation status must be made using the Isolations and Infections Activity. With the implementation of Bugsy, there is no longer a need to place isolation orders. The activity can be accessed from the Storyboard (located above the Attending's name): ![](https://www.umc.edu/DIS-Newsletters/images/images_2023/august_images_2023/isolation special contact image.png) ![](https://www.umc.edu/DIS-Newsletters/images/images_2023/august_images_2023/patient infection status and patient isolation status image nv.png)
![](https://www.umc.edu/DIS-Newsletters/images/images_2023/august_images_2023/patient infection status and patient isolation status add new nv image.png)
... or from the Isolation and Infection Instructions section of the index report. The isolation status can be updated by simply clicking the hyperlink to add or remove an isolation: ![](https://www.umc.edu/DIS-Newsletters/images/images_2023/august_images_2023/isolation updates required and suggested image nv.png)
Please note: There will no longer be any Best Practice Advisories to suggest an appropriate isolation status, so it will be important that required or suggested Isolation Updates are addressed in a timely manner. |
