In Epic EHR, the CAPD dialysis flowsheet incorrectly transfers net negative fluid balance to the I/O flowsheet, showing patients losing more fluid than reality.
Epic's CAPD flowsheet only transfers net positive fluid outputs to the I/O flowsheet, ignoring net negative outputs (which should appear as inputs). This leads to inaccurate fluid balance tracking for CAPD patients.
