Nextstep Rules to Remember.
Rule 1- ALWAYS work in just one Next Step instance. While the system will unfortunately allow you to open multiple windows of the Next Step program, doing so causes glitches and might result in your losing clinical work that cannot be recovered.
Rule 2- NEVER discharge clients open with other departments. There are no exceptions to this rule, if a client is open with another department you do a “Transfer/Drop” if you need to remove them from your department. If you are indicated as the primary or secondary clinician you will need to go to the Face Sheet and remove yourself to avoid getting reminders that are no longer applicable to you.
