I also am a palliative care nurse in an acute care setting and just started a program. We have the EPIC computer system and there is a "FYI" tab that was built into the heading at the top of the page where name and other info appears. I have a special "FYI" security clearance on my login. When I am consulted on a pt, I click on the FYI tab and a screen comes up and I choose from the options, which for me is Palliative Care, and when I exit, the black FYI changes to Bold red FYI. Also, I have a consult list and an FYI list, so when I come in the next day there may be people on my FYI list that aren't on my consult list. I can then ask for a consult if necessary. Also, this FYI shows up to the admitting doctor as a best practice alert on admission, telling them they were P.C.
