Background documentation Tips on Setting Up the Clinical Work Station Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

SAP recommends that you re-use views, variants and layouts. If the creation of variants is well thought out, the effort required in setting up the care unit work station can be minimized. For your hospital, determine which views the users require on a regular basis on a typical care unit work station or on a typical outpatient clinic/service facility work station.

Example

Care Unit Work Station

The occupancy list is required as a view on each care unit work station with a particular display assignment and functions. It is important to find out which display fields are required in the occupancy view and which functions are used. You can define a view for general use ("generic" view) based on this information. A "generic" view is a view which has a selection variant assigned to it in which none of the fields are filled except the institution and the selection date (selection variable for the system date). In addition, a layout and a corresponding function variant are specified and assigned to this "generic" view.

The nursing OU is not specified based on the selection variant but rather at work environment level. Define a separate work environment for each care unit using the care unit work station. Enter the care unit for which the view is intended in the Nursing OU field.

Now assign the "generic" views to these work environments. In this way, you can accommodate occupancy of all care units with one view.

Caution

Note that any changes to the "generic" view affect all care units.
