1. Do I have to enter ABGs and Oximetry for the same client?
No. Oximetries are to be entered for Pediatric and Palliative clients only or clients who have been prior approved for oximetry by AADL.
2. When I enter an Oxygen Authorization, do I enter the doctor's name and ABGs on the same day?
Yes. This facilitates the flow of system generated letters to the client and to the doctor.
3. What catalogue number do I enter for a suction machine?
For a non-portable unit, enter R491. For a portable unit, enter R492. The rest of the catalogue numbers will be populated.
4. When I enter catalogue number R491 or R492 for a new client, the package information does not appear on the authorization. What do I do?
We recommend that you wait to enter the authorization (Steps 4 and 5) until the client status has been confirmed.
