Function documentationConfigure Settings for Surgery Teams

 

You maintain employee data so that it is available for selection of the employee responsible for documentation and for entering surgery teams. You should create positions for all employees, who often participate in surgeries and create positions for the OUs of your OR area. Assign these employees to the positions. In this case, these employees appear in all employee-related input help functions (F4) within the surgery system.

Recommendation Recommendation

To minimize the entry effort required, you can link employees to departments. For the surgery request or documentation, the user can enter the employee of the department as the EMR for all subordinate service facilities or in the surgery team.

End of the recommendation.

The configuration of team entry for surgical teams corresponds to the Team Entry Configuration within the framework of service management.

Activities

Create the following master data and assignments:

  • Employee

    Create the employees of your surgery area (e.g. anesthetists, surgical assistants, etc.) as business partners.

    See Employee (Business Partners)

    See Employee – Service Assignment (AT, CH, SG)

  • Positions

    Define positions for organizational units and assign the employees to the positions.

    See Position Master

    See Employee – Position Assignment

  • Tasks:

    Enter the required tasks that should be available to the user when entering the surgery team (for example, operating surgeon, assistant, relief person).

    See Maintain Task Master

  • OU involvement

    You can restrict the selection lists for the performing person to employees with a physician indicator or nurse indicator.

    Furthermore, you can enhance the selection lists for the performing person (employee or external physician) in the clinical order or in the surgery request to include employees of other OUs.

    Example Example

    The anesthetists of a hospital belong to the Anesthesia OU. The Anesthesia OU is not an operating department. You enter a request for a surgery at CHIROP for which an anesthetist is required. The selection list for the performing person in the request should also include all anesthetists of the Anesthesia OU.

    End of the example.

    See Team Entry Configuration

  • Task proposal – Potential surgery team

    You create the surgery team's tasks in the service master data of the orderable surgery services in the form of a task proposal. You can also enter task proposals for the anchor service. A supplementary procedure is used:

    • You define tasks which you entered for all operations, as a proposal in the anchor service.

    • You store special tasks in the individual services for surgeries which can be ordered.

      Note Note

      When the task proposal is implemented, the system will combine the proposals from the anchor service and from the requested services and sort them using the priority.

      End of the note.

  • Qualifications
