Good morning,

We'll go live with stopping routine residual checks on Wednesday, 2/3. IT will update the tube feeding power plans so that the order line to check residuals will be unselected as a default. If a provider wants to order residual checks they have the option to select the order line upon TF initiation or place a separate order for residual checks. This info has been presented at Ed Council and passed along to unit directors. I've asked my staff to begin education at huddles, etc.

Let me know if you have any questions.
