Project description:

At present, users go through a number of steps in order to Check-In a patient:

1. Select Patient - only required if the appointment doesn't have one

2. Select Work List - if the schedule is associated with work lists

3. New Weight - record the patient's current weight

4. Customise Flow Sheet - creates a Smart Flow Sheet for the patient, if the selected work list requires one

5. Print - print documents associated with the schedule/work list

Each of these steps display a new window, and each window requires a click to get to the next step. On completion of the steps, the Edit Visit window is displayed.

To reduce the number of clicks, the steps will be displayed in a single Check-In window. This will contain:

Clinician
The clinician to assign to any records created during Check-In.
If the practice Use Logged In Clinician option is:
- enabled, this will default to the current clinician, or the appointment clinician if the current user is not a clinician
- disabled, this will default to the appointment clinician
Patient
If a patient is present, this will display the name of the patient.
If not, a binocular field will be displayed to select one of the customer's patients.
Work List
Only displayed if the schedule is configured with work lists.
Displayed as a binocular field.
May be left blank
Smart Flow Sheet
If the Work List indicates a Smart Flow Sheet is required, this will enable the Department, treatment Template and Duration of Stay to be customised
Weight
Displays the current weight.
Provides fields to enter the new patient weight, units, and clinician.
Print
Provides a list of documents to print, based on the Schedule and Work List selection.

The window provides OK and Cancel buttons.

The OK button is only enabled if a patient is selected. Clicking it:

creates a Task, if a Work List was selected
records the patient weight, if any
creates a Smart Flow Sheet, if required
prints any selected documents
continues the Check-In workflow

The Cancel button cancels Check-In.

Hi Tim,

This looks good. Is it possible to have a restriction on the list of letters that are available to print? We have a large number of letters generally available, but only a very short list of letters that we would want to print as part of a check-in process. Current work around for us is that we prefix these letters with a '1-' This works, but it would be neater if we didn't have to do this.

Thanks

David
