Day-Based Planning – Daily Planning Grid
When planning admissions, the daily planning grid displays the care units which can admit patients, based on the occupancy capacity and planned inpatient occupancy.
Note
If you use the clinical system (i.s.h.med) the daily planning grid will also display a long-term overview of free capacity for treatments or "treatment categories" for surgeries (e.g. major, minor surgeries).
To provide a more compact display of a planning period, for example one month, on one screen page, the daily planning grid will only display the number of planned admissions or services for each day, grouped according to the service type (i.s.h.med). In this context, a service type is a service from the in-house service catalog which can be preregistered, e.g. hip surgery.
Structure
The current planning situation is displayed in a grid; the rows of the grid contain days and the columns contain the care units for planning admissions.
Note
When you use i.s.h.med use day-based planning to plan surgeries/treatments, the columns will contain the predefined service types. The headers of the columns can be freely filled in with the service codes or the service text (organizational unit-related parameter N1LSLIST
). A cell of the grid displays the number of planned services of one day and of a specific service type.
If you plan many different service types, the grid will contain many columns. You can reduce the number of columns to make the grid clearer: You group the service types together to form service classes, which are significant for planning, e.g. surgeries of longer than 4 hours, surgeries of up to 4 hours, and surgeries of less than 2 hours.
The planning horizon is displayed vertically: By default, this encompasses 28 days, but you can override this value using the user parameter VKKTD.
In addition to the number of planned admissions or services (i.s.h.med), each cell also displays the quantity defined by the quota for each day, in parentheses. You can deactivate this display with the OU-related parameter N1KPKOAZ
.
Color Indicator
The cells of the grid can have different background colors:
The system will display the cell in green, if there is still free capacity for an inpatient admission or a service on the day.
If the OU's capacity for inpatient admissions or services of the relevant type or class has been reached, the cell will be yellow.
It is possible to overbook, in which case the cell will be red.
If no quota has been defined for a day and an inpatient admission or a service, the system will display the corresponding grid cell in white. In this case, you can still plan for this day, but the system will not use the color indicators.
To display the various colors, you must have defined how many admissions or how many surgeries/treatments of a specific type can be planned in an organizational unit (OU). This definition is stored in the master data as an OU-related quota.
Note
i.s.h.med: If you work with service classes, the system administrator must define the quota for an OU, based on the service classes, which he defined.
You can change the size of the worklist, overview of planned patients and the daily planning grid. For this, you use the mouse to drag the separation lines between the service elements to the positions desired. When you exit the day-based planning and log off from the current session, the system will retain the positions of the separating lines.
Constraint
The Day-Specific Planning function has been implemented into the long-term planning of pre-registered services. You can enter a cycle for a preregistered service, however the system does not support the day-based planning of cyclical services.
