What does the Vitals Link allow nurses to do?

The Vitals Link is specifically designed for nurses to efficiently document vital signs and related patient information, including a pain score. Documenting a pain score is critical in assessing a patient's comfort level and managing their pain effectively, which influences treatment decisions and overall care. This functionality is essential in a clinical setting as it helps in monitoring the patient's condition over time and improving healthcare outcomes.

While documenting patient medications, accessing lab results, and reviewing previous visits are important tasks within the nursing process, they are typically managed through different sections of an electronic health record system or different modules, rather than through the Vitals Link specifically. The primary focus of the Vitals Link is on recording vital signs and the immediate parameters that reflect the patient's current health status, with pain scoring being a vital part of that assessment.
