Create Aspects
An aspect is a collection of information about the structure of the electronic patient record.
When creating an aspect you define the name and the properties of the aspect. The design determines whether it is an aspect in tree display, list display, or horizontal progress display (e.g. vital signs).
The mode of the aspect defines its use as a standard aspect, outpatient clinic folder, patient appointments MED, nursing progress note or inpatient progress note.
Regarding the contents, you define the aspects by assigning views. For each aspect, the system displays only those objects (e.g. diagnoses, procedures, etc.) which are contained in a view which is assigned to the aspect.
Each aspect is displayed as a pushbutton in the patient organizer/patient viewer. Aspects have a name which the system uses as the pushbutton label.
When you use an aspect in the patient organizer/patient viewer, the system will use the aspect to structure the patient record displayed.
Note
With user parameters you can define whether the patient organizer/patient viewer should display the various aspects in the aspect toolbar
(vertical bar in the left-hand screen area) as pushbuttons in the aspect toolbar or in the pushbutton toolbar
(does not appliy to the patient viewer).
Note
In the patient organizer you should display aspects in the application toolbar if you only wish to use a few aspects. The larger portion of the user interface is used for the overview display or list display and the detail display.
Features
You can construct the following aspects:
Chronological aspects by day, month, quarter or year
Overview aspects containing the various inpatient and outpatient cases of a patient
Aspects for a department-specific view (chronological or case-related)
Overview aspects containing all the objects of a specific type (e.g. all discharge summaries)
Aspects with grouping nodes of the case-time type (similar construction to the case list)
Aspects with services from a specific service group
Aspects for displaying objects in structured form according to the assigned health problem
NoteYou can define aspects in the patient organizer or in the patient viewer for several institutions. You should use this possibility for multi-hospital patient records, if you have defined several institutions in one client.
End of the note.Aspects for the Patient Appointments MED
Depending on whether you use i.s.h.med and / or SAP Ambulatory Care Management
, the standard aspects are available to you in the patient organizer or the patient viewer (in the documentation work station).
Activities
You assign the aspects created especially for the Patient Appointments MED to the users.
Example
To structure the patient record of a patient who has been having regular examinations for a long time, you could structure by year. In addition, the attending physician wishes to see, for example, only laboratory findings, discharge summaries, patient-related anamnesis documents, and any radiological requests, in order to receive an overview.
