Please Consider…
• RN should submit this form to request IVT when in house- no need to
text IVT or submit requests for IVT assistance through the MR
• IF MR does get the paper IVT request from a nurse she should submit
request via this form if they are in house
• RN can enter a note in the dashboard to communicate to IVT if pt has to
leave the floor after a request is entered before completed.
• RN should partner with the IVT by removing entries from IVT Dashboard
that are no longer needed
• System Support Staff will provide 24/7 onsite support in both VUH &
VCH.
• If you have questions or need assistance:
Call the Help Desk at 343-4357 (3-HELP)
