Function documentation Organizational Unit: Indicators Relevant to Processing Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Use

You can set specific indicators in the organizational unit (OU) master data to specify the attributes of the OU. The attributes of the OU specify, on the one hand, how you can use the OU in different functions. These specifications are also used by the system to control specific processes in relation to the attributes of the OU.

Features

The indicators listed below are available to you. You can obtain comprehensive information about each indicator via the F1 help. The following documentation considers only specific aspects of using the indicators in the system.

Indicators Relevant for Assignment/Occupancy

OUs for which this checkbox is flagged are intensive care units. These can be nursing OUs and departmental OUs.

The system uses this indicator in the following functions (Germany):

– In evaluations of hospital statistical regulatory requirements

– In the charge check on cases with flat rates per case which have both a maximum length of stay of the flat rate per case and a maximum length of stay of the intensive care stay.

– In the maintenance of nursing acuities pursuant to the Nursing Staff Regulation.

Note

The intensive care treatment indicator is not taken into account in statistics (with the exception of statistics pursuant to hospital statistical regulatory requirements). OUs are considered as intensive care units only if they are assigned to a specialty for which the intensive care indicator is set in Customizing for IS-H. For more information about this, see the section entitled Code Specialties in the IS-H Implementation Guide and the FI help for the intensive care treatment indicator (I field) in the corresponding Customizing table.

Other Data

Within admission data you can specify the facility that admits the patient. You can only specify OUs for which this indicator is set.

In Medical Record Management, you can assign a medical record to the archive in which the medical record is kept. A medical record archive can only be an organizational unit for which you have set this indicator.

You set this indicator for departmental and nursing OUs of pediatrics.

When maintaining nursing acuities pursuant to the Nursing Staff Regulation (Germany), you classify cases that are assigned to an OU with the pediatric indicator using the nursing acuities of infant and children care.

You set this indicator for OUs that are excluded from the regulatory nursing acuity classification (Germany). These include dialysis units and psychiatric units.

If the data protection indicator is set for an OU, the system displays movements on this OU in the case list only if you have the corresponding display authorization.

If you use the case-related goods issue from care unit storage location function, you must specify a plant and a storage location that are assigned to the care unit storage facility.

In this field, you can specify the calendar that is valid for the OU for defining the workdays of the OU. For more information, see the F1 help.

In Customizing for IS-H, you stipulate, in relation to the organizational category, which of these indicators should be maintainable for OUs of a certain category. For more information about this, see the section entitled Structure linkDefine Organizational Unit Categories in the IS-H Implementation Guide.
