GRADED A+ 2025/2026
Explain the Following Concepts:
- The distinctions among Expected, Waiting, and Roomed care areas
- The proper links that need to be made among the Care Areas, Department, and
Rooms master files
- How the system determines what columns of information to display on the ED
Manager - Expected-
Remember that you can leave the Confirmation Record fields blank when creating an
Expected care area - the patients appearing in this care area are not in the ED yet, so
no admission or transfer can occur.
Waiting- Does not have a Admission Record field but does have a Transfer
Confirmation
True or False: To create an All Patients view, you should be sure to fill out all of the
options on the Filters screen completely. - False. You should leave all of the filters
blank.
Once you have created views, in which master file(s) can you link to them so that they
display as buttons on the Track Board? - Track Board views can only be linked to in the
Profile (LPR) record.
Describe how you could Perform the following tasks:
- Create a Track Board view and have it display as a button within the Track Board
activity. - View Editor
Click Create and name your View Editor
Fill in the Display Columns
Define your filters ect and then Accept
Assigning Your Acute Care Button to your department profile
Explain the following concept:
The logic used by the system when evaluating the settings on the Filters screen of a
Track Board view. - ?
True or False: To create an All Patients view, you should be sure to fill out all of the
options on the Filters screen completely. - False. You should leave all of the filters
blank.
Once you have created views, in which master file(s) can you link to them so that they
display as buttons on the Track Board? - Track Board views can only be linked to in the
Profile (LPR) record.
, What causes information to appear in the Patient Events Log? - Information appears in
the Patient Events Log whenever an Event is 'fired' in the ED. The events that can be
fired (and the specific information that displays on the Log) are configured in the Events
master file (LEV), but the specific events that are tracked in any given department are
listed in its Department record. Events can be set to fire when a status is changed,
when orders are placed, when results are sent, when an ED Disposition is selected,
based on ADT settings, when a patient's treatment team is updated, and even when a
Flowsheet Row is filed.
A department's color configuration can be based upon many different settings. What are
they? - The Color Coding Scheme can pull from the colors specified in the Department
record for Patient Status, Lab Status, Radiology Status, Consult Status, the
customizable Other Status, ADT Bed Status, or patient Acuity.
What are the three things that need to be set up in order for a patient status to
automatically change? - 1. Patient Status must be defined in the DEP
2. Event must be set to fire
3. Event that is set to fire must be linked to a Patient Status in the ED Settings Screen
of the DEP record
Define the following term -
- Status - On the ED Status Column Settings screen, you identify the status types that
will be tracked in your Emergency Department. Everyone wants to track Patient Status,
and most want to track Lab Status. There are a total of five status types available in
ASAP: Patient, Lab, Radiology, Consult, and one customizable status called Other
(often used for registration status). Listing a status type in the table on this screen
enables its use in your department and makes it appear on the right-click menu on all of
the ED tracking tools.
Explain the following concept:
- Where the options in a Shift+F5 window are coming from when choosing values for
some items in the DEP
- Status changes can fire events, and events firing can cause status changes to occur
automatically -
How can a CER Rule be used in the DEP record in the ED? - A CER Rule can be used
to prevent an event from automatically updating a patient's status when not appropriate.
Name two of the necessary components that must be added to a CER Rule. - Context -
in order to link a CER Rule to a given area, an appropriate Context must be defined. 2)
Properties - Select a property that the CER Rule will evaluate. 3) Operators - determine
the operator and the value that will be looked to in order to mark this CER Rule as "true"
