Outpatient Documentation Work Station (New)
Use
As of SAP ECC Industry Extension Healthcare 6.0, the Outpatient Documentation Work Station provides you with a new means of quickly and easily completing documentation tasks in the outpatient area.
The Outpatient Documentation Work Station depicts work situations of the outpatient facility, for example, consultations and workers' compensation initial treatment, with their tasks, and makes available the appropriate information for each situation.
Concepts
The following concepts play a key role in the Outpatient Documentation Work Station:
Situation
Situations are used to group together tasks that have to be completed by different persons and occupational groups in an actual treatment situation. The user assigns these tasks to the patients in the form of a situation to enable the tasks to then be processed in the Outpatient Documentation Work Station.
It is recommended that the system administrator or user create situations that do not comprise too many tasks (approximately 15-20). The time for fully processing a situation should not exceed one day. It is recommended that you only depict one case or visit in a situation.
Situations must be closed. For each situation you can stipulate whether the system is to do this automatically after all the tasks have been completed, or whether the user must close the situation manually.
Situations are temporary objects. After the situation has been closed, it is removed from the system by a deletion program. You stipulate the interval at which this program runs in the situation template.
Profile
Profiles are used to group together tasks to facilitate the selection when assigning new tasks. You create profiles in template management (transaction code N2WLD). You can use them when creating situations or when adding tasks to a situation.
Task
Tasks depict the documentation- or information steps required for the treatment.
In template management, you give descriptive names to the tasks and you can link the tasks with "base items". The base item controls which documentation object the user can create, edit, or view. Tasks without related actions can be used for informational purposes, or as reminders of important treatment steps that are not directly depicted in the system (such as, inform relatives).
You can also link a task with an "info item". When the task is used, this controls which aspects the system is to display in the patient viewer, and thus which extracts from the patient's medical record the system is to display for a specific task.
Tasks are not inter-related. You cannot depict dependencies, such as "You cannot complete a task until you have...".
You can designate tasks as required tasks. You cannot close a situation that contains required tasks until the status of all required tasks has been set to Completed or Canceled.
Like a situation, a task is also a temporary object. It is deleted with the situation by the system.
Template
Templates comprise the definition data for situations and tasks. The system only creates the actual situation with reference to the patient from the situation template when the patient is assigned. When you process a situation for the first time in the Outpatient Documentation Work Station, the system creates tasks from the task templates.
You edit templates in template maintenance.
Work Station Layout
The Outpatient Documentation Work Station enables you to display different components concurrently on screen. The basic structure is preset. However, you can, if need be, show or hide the various components, and resize them using the mouse. You can save all layout settings as personal settings.
Components in the Standard System
To optimally depict work situations in the Outpatient Documentation Work Station, the standard system provides different components:
Task List
The task list is the central tool for displaying all of the tasks defined for the situation. It contains information about the status of the task. When you click a task name, the work station displays a documentation interface corresponding to the task. You see relevant extracts from the patient's medical record in another component.
For more information, see the release note Outpatient Documentation Work Station: Task List (New).
Patient Viewer
This component initially displays relevant sections of the electronic patient record for the situation, or specific sections for each task. This information is displayed in a list, or in a tree structure. When you click an object, a corresponding detailed display opens.
For more information, see the release note Patient Viewer (New).
Documentation Object
The documentation objects are the processing programs linked with the tasks, to a large extent as they are provided elsewhere in the system.
The standard system contains the following documentation objects:
- Diagnoses
- Procedures
- Administrative services
- Medical services
- Selected forms of the Panel Physician Association (DE)
- Selected forms of the Workers' Compensation Accident Insurance (DE)
- Problems for the problem-oriented record
- Outpatient clinic folder
Appropriate settings enable information to be displayed in a browser (URL). Furthermore, it is possible to print forms and call transactions of your choosing.
The implementation of a BAdI enables the execution of additional, customer-specific actions.
The documentation objects are displayed in the upper right screen area of the work station.
Toolbar
To supplement the task list functions, you can also display a toolbar. The pushbuttons displayed in this toolbar are selected from a standard function list in Customizing. You can define which functions comprise the toolbar for each situation template.
The toolbar is displayed at the upper edge of the work station.
Other Information Components
In addition to the patient viewer, other components are provided for the display of information:
- Work station header
- Patient overview
- Context view
For more information, see the release note Outpatient Documentation Work Station Information Components (New).
Accessing the Outpatient Documentation Work Station
You open the Outpatient Documentation Work Station from the Clinical Work Station (view type Outpatient Clinic).
Three new pushbuttons are provided for this purpose in the function list:
Assign Situation
This function enables you to select one or more situation(s) proposed in a list, and assign them to the patient. The system compiles this list of proposed situations on the basis of criteria such as case category, movement type, and organizational unit. You can display all of the available situations rather than the proposal list.
This assignment dialog is also provided in the Clinical Process Builder to enable the assignment to be made during the admission process.
Once the assignment is made, you can either return to the Clinical Work Station, or switch into the Outpatient Documentation Work Station.
If you select several patients in the Clinical Work Station, you can assign the selected situations to them in the same processing step.
Edit Situation
This function enables you to edit an assigned situation for one or more selected patients. The list of assigned situations is displayed in a dialog box. If you select several patients, the system only displays the situations that are assigned to all of the selected patients.
You can also assign and edit other situations. You can view a list of all situations that were edited and closed earlier, and select a closed situation to be displayed.
Double-clicking a situation opens the Outpatient Documentation Work Station.
Create Situation
If particular situations have still to be defined in the system, you can group together tasks, as required, for one or more patients yourself. You open a dialog box with a structured catalog containing all of the profiles and tasks available in the system. The tasks you select are combined in a situation and can then be processed in the Outpatient Documentation Work Station. The system does not save situations created like this as templates.
If users consistently need to create the same or a similar situation, it is recommended that you create an appropriate situation template.
Information can be provided for each task, if stored in Customizing.
Clinical Work Station Column Set
The column set for the view type Outpatient Clinic/Service Facility been enhanced.
A text, or a situation icon or task icon shows you that there are still open tasks for a patient.
If you have stipulated for organizational reasons that open situations are not closed automatically, it is recommended to display both columns. You can immediately see whether tasks still have to be completed, or whether open situations exist.
If only one situation is assigned, clicking the situation directly opens the Outpatient Documentation Work Station with the situation.
If several situations are assigned, clicking the icon opens the Edit Situation dialog and you must select the required situation.
The occupational groups responsible for open tasks are displayed in another column.
For information on setting up the Outpatient Documentation Work Station, see the release note Outpatient Documentation Work Station: Template Maintenance (New).
