Workflow

Each facility and specialty is different and users will need to decide what is appropriate for their organisation as to the most efficient use of the software. However, episodes should be completed in the reporting window before they are transmitted to the relevant authorities (i.e. an episode from last reporting cycle cannot be included in the current reporting cycle's transmission).

In the Day Surgery module there are between seven and nine tabs of information that must be completed per episode depending on the State in which the facility is located. Data entry is based on drop down menu selections rather than directly entering the data. Please note that each reporting body has slightly different requirements. A field may not always appear relevant, but the data supplied is also forwarded to other entities for statistical purposes (e.g. World Health Organisation).

The Day Surgery module will arrive partially configured, and a Trainer will assist completing the necessary requirements in order to commence using the software.
