Default PSS Venue

If your site is using Pre-Surgical Screening functionality, you can select the one you use most frequently to be your default one.

Default List Order for Elective Surgical Wait List

Choose how you want the wait list to be sorted each time you sign into Novari ATC. During the current session you can choose to sort the wait list by clicking on a column heading and that sort is retained during the current session until you manually change it.

Wait 2 Audit Delay Reasons Threshold

You may not have this setting, or it may have a different name, depending on your site’s configuration settings.

This setting is for how often a user must specify a Wait 2 System Delay on a case. For example, if the setting is 3 months, then any case actively waiting for surgery for over 3 months will require a Wait 2 System Delay reason be specified on the case.

This can also be controlled on the hospital level by your site administrator depending on the setting configuration for your installation. Contact your site Admin for further details.

Default Patient Search Field

When searching for a patient, you can search using HCN, MRN or Name. For example, if you tend to search using MRN more than HCN or Name, you can select that option to be the default. This reduces the number of clicks when searching for patients.

Default Patient Search Sort Order

Choose the order patient search results are displayed in when searching for a patient. By default, patients are displayed sorted by name.

Target Type

Target type values (for expected days to wait for a surgical encounter) can vary based on the target type level. The Province or LHIN level for a specified wait time (based on Wait 2 score) can vary based on the Target Type level, although they are almost always the same between all levels. Contact your site administrator for further details on how wait time in days may vary based on Target Type level.

Empty or Not Submitted OR Block Warning

Determine if and when the system should issue a notification that surgery blocks are not submitted to the OR. The range is from NO WARNINGS to 28 days before the surgery date.

There are two ways that the system can notify you:

· On the Booking Calendar and Dashboard

· Via email to the email specified in your user preferences

If you handle patients for more than one provider, you can choose for which providers the OR Block warning should be sent.

If you have Pools, you can choose for which Pools the OR Block warning should be sent.

Clinical Data Collection Sheets

Select care venue/service for specific clinical data collection sheet.

Clinical Data Collection sheets provide a print-out of base level clinical information for a case. Users who are required to document this information typically print out the form, fill out the information (physically either in a provider’s office or during a pre-surgical screening) and are then scanned and attached to a case. The data displayed on the form can vary based on the provider’s service and the care venue the surgery is being performed at.

My QuickPicks

Choose which procedures you want to appear in the QuickPicks list when adding a patient to the wait list. If you don’t choose any, the QuickPicks defaults to the 10 commonly used procedures for the provider.
