NOVA
Nova means “new,” stemming from the Latin word “novus.” NOVA is a new way for our hospitals to utilize whiteboards and treatment sheets.
The NOVASheet, once created, will continue for the entire patient visit, replicating at midnight each night. Therefore, it is not necessary to create a new sheet each day. Refer to NOVASheet Types for setup. 
To use the NOVASheet, select the NOVA tab from the home screen's toolbar and select the patient
or choose NOVASheets from the patient’s medical chart.
This is a permissions-based feature or is managed from the Admin page.
