Repeat period

This entry specifies the interval between two scheduled health surveillance protocols. After you open a medical service, the system proposes the date of the next appointment. You can overwrite this entry as long as the new value is within the tolerance period. The system uses the value you enter to calculate the date of the periodic examination and takes this date into account when determining the persons for a medical service .

Example Example

The periodic examination for asbestos must be performed within a period of 12 to 36 months.

End of the example.

Tolerance period for a health surveillance protocol

This entry specifies the time period (in days) within which a scheduled health surveillance protocol must be performed. In the medical service, a warning message appears if you exceed the tolerance period proposed by the system for the next appointment.

Example Example
