Interface to PointClickCare (PCC): Data Points
The following PCC data points are processed by the PCC Connect interface during a PCC sync with resident/patient profile:
| PCC Data | Processed in Resident/Patient Profile As (i.e., the Field that is Populated) |
| First Name Last Name Middle Name |
First Name Last Name M.I. |
| Sex | Gender |
| Date of Birth | Date of Birth |
| Admission Date | Admit Date |
| External ID (contains MRN as the value) | Client ID |
| MRN | MRN |
| Ethnicity | Ethnicity |
| Unit Floor Room Bed |
Area Floor Room Bed |
| Leave of absence | Person Off Premise Dates (optional) |
| Diet Texture Fluid Modifier Additional directions note* |
Diet Type or Diet Intervention Texture Type Fluid Type Diet Intervention Profile Notes (optional) |
| Diet Order On Hold | Populates NPO to Diet, Texture, and Fluid fields in resident/patient profile. |
| Food Allergies Intolerances |
Allergens Intolerances can be processed as Do Not Serve or Allergens |
| Resident Photo | Profile photo (optional) |
*Supplements do not flow automatically to the resident profile. If you add an Additional directions note in PCC, the note comes through as a profile note in the resident's profile. You can then use this note to customize the resident's personal menu with a supplement. To do so, see Supplements.
*Adaptive aides do not flow automatically to the resident profile. If you add an Additional directions note in PCC, the note comes through as a profile note in the resident's profile. You can then use this note to customize the resident's personal menu with an adaptive aide. To do so, see Adaptive Aides (Equipment).
Webhook Trigger from PCC and Two-Minute Delay
Immediately upon a patient being updated in PCC, a webhook notifies MealSuite to trigger a call and run a profile sync to update the entire profile to match the PCC profile.
By default, a two minute delay exists between when Connect receives the webhook and when Connect retrieves the updated info from PCC. Having this delay allows time for the data in the PCC backend tables to be updated before Connect retrieves it; therefore ensuring information is complete in MealSuite.
How Diet Interventions are Handled
Diet interventions are handled as follows:
- A PCC diet order that is identified as a "modifier" is recognized by the interface to be mapped to a diet intervention (click here for more information).
- Any PCC diet order identified as either "diet", "texture", or "fluid" can be mapped to a diet intervention (click here for more information) rather than a respective diet, texture, or fluid. In addition, with the flexible mapping functionality offered by the PCC Connect interface, that diet order can be mapped to multiple diet interventions (click here for more information).
Note: When a diet intervention is added directly in your account, it will therefore not exist in a Connect mapping relationship. As such, if such a diet intervention is assigned to a resident/patient profile, then that diet intervention is unaffected from a PCC sync and therefore cannot be unassigned from a resident/patient profile. For example, if you have a decaf coffee intervention that was created directly in your MealSuite account, then during a PCC sync the decaf coffee intervention will never be removed from profiles that it is assigned to.
How Do Not Serves are Handled
Assuming intolerances are configured to be processed as do not serve (DNS) customizations in a MealSuite account, the following occurs:
If a DNS customization (i.e., preference group is marked as DNS) was assigned to a MealSuite resident/patient profile as a result of an EHR intolerance, and assuming that preference group is not mapped to another EHR intolerance, then the DNS customization can be subsequently unassigned from the MealSuite resident/patient profile during a PCC sync if that intolerance no longer exists in the EHR profile.
Note that the PCC Connect interface will never remove any DNS that was directly added to a resident/patient profile in a MealSuite account.
