Documentation Instructions: Initials - Indicates action / care has been ordered / administered. - Indicates preceding care / order is not applicable. Crossing out - Indicates that there is a change in the care outlined. V - Indicates a variation from the pathway on that day, in that section. When applicable flag it in the Variance column, then document in the free text area as instructed. If this variance occurs more than once daily, document the additional times of the variance in the variance free text area and in the patient s progress notes as applicable. Key Medical Nursing Pharmacy Allied Health Cardiac Rehab Symbols guide care to a primary professional stream, it is a visual guide only and its direction is not intended to be absolute. When signing in a split box, first signature should be entered in the left box and the second in the right.
