Abstract:
Liverpool Care Pathway (LCP) Japanese version was implemented to electronic medical chart (FUJITSU HOPE/EGMAIN-FX®). The processes were needed as follows; preparation of each templates (criteria for use of the LCP/initial assessment, ongoing assessment, and care after death), preparation of pathway/regimen, incorporation of the templates to the pathway and approval in our hospital clinical pathway committee. One problem we encountered was whether to choose an Excel or a template format for each assessment sheet, and the template format was selected as it presented us with a higher degree of convenience, since each field can be expanded into a table on the screen without scrolling and there is little limitation in the letters of the valiance records that can be used in the template format. The complexity of the three records, “the pathway”, “SOAP & focus” for recording opioid use, and “the progress sheet” for recording vital signs, in addition to the inability to expand enough to capture the same field and show changes in the daily pathway over time through night and day work shifts remain a challenge and need to be improved in the future.
