Appendix F – Advanced Options

In Day Surgery, the 'Advanced menu' displays options that can be changed to reflect the facility's requirements. This appendix explains the menu items and how to change them.



Settings Under the Settings option, default settings for a select number of fields can be defined. The location(s) for directories on the computer or network can be defined or modified here. Also the facilities details can be setup here that can be printed onto forms and be included into extracts.


Once set, the options here normally are not required to be changed unless MedicalDirector notifies the facility of a change in data collection requirements.

Edit Datasets This option allows for spelling corrections or renaming items in the dataset. It is important not to delete any data as the ramifications could include disrupting historical information kept and/or corrupting episodes.
Flush The flush option removes field contents of episodes that have been flagged for deletion.
Relinking and Compacting Databases These menu items contain settings that do not need to be changed unless directed by MedicalDirector Support staff.
About This contains version information about the Day Surgery module and components installed.
Select ICD Codes Frequently-used items can be added to a 'favourites list' for Diagnoses and Procedures based on the code data.
