Our head to toe physical assessments do not use "WNL" is not felt that is
appropriate. We have our assessments built as "normals" spelled out & other -
an optional query - for example:
Respiratory effort - no distress/no retraction or Other
Also for this purpose Meditech does have EMR ID's called Parameters for every
physical assessment for example:
Genitourinary Parameters
Hope this helps. A

Physical Assessment Within Normal Limits
We are building EDM assessments and are working on a Physical Assessment. I
would like to document "Within Normal Limits" for each body system and then
have a more detailed assessment for those systems not within normal limits. I
have seen this discussed several times on the L. Does anyone have a policy they
would share defining what is "Within Normal Limits". I would also be inteterest
in your Physical Assessment.
Thank you,
