What is the first step in the order for creating a Flowsheet Navigator?

The first step in the order for creating a Flowsheet Navigator is to build the flowsheet itself. This foundational step involves defining the specific data elements and their layout that will be displayed on the flowsheet. By building the flowsheet prior to any other steps, you establish the core structure and functionality that the navigator will utilize. It allows for the identification of the relevant data points and how they will be organized for use in clinical workflows.

Once the flowsheet structure is in place, subsequent steps such as adding sections, creating the navigator, and integrating it into the topic template can be successfully executed. This progressive approach ensures that all elements are align with the flowsheet that has been created, thus streamlining the overall process of developing the Flowsheet Navigator in EpicCare.
