Change ALS, BLS, DNR to something different

We are not sure yet but we think we want it to be CPR, SD (Specified Directives), and DNR. ALS can be misconstrued on a record post CPR as something other than CPR. Our Criticalist defines ALS as certain life-saving techniques that she will not do in most cases. She is worried if we mark it in the record and don't do it we could be liable.

    Let’s make the ALS/BLS/DNR up to date with the RECOVER recommendations.

    Using the traffic light system of

    Green = open chest CPR,

    yellow = close chest CPR,

    Red = DNR and

    Blue = Vets discretion.

    As majority of patients are ALS but not all are open chest CPR.

    Solutions - removing the current ALS/BLS/DNR from the picture and allocating a box within the patient info section to free text CPR status
