OR350 CHAPTER REVIEW QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS 100% CORRECT
What is an OR Location and how does it help in building OpTime? - ANSWER-An OR
Location is a group of ORs that are administered in the same way. OR Locations allow
for organizations to create unique settings - such as reports, charging, preference
cards, and more - for specific groups of ORs appropriately.
What field in an OR Location ﴾EAF﴿ record determines where it fits into an
organization's overall
facility structure?
A. Location Type
B. Department
C. Address - ANSWER-B. The Department field links an OR Location to the rest of the
facility structure.
What is an item default and how does it allow for efficient build? - ANSWER-An item
default is the default value or selection an item has if its field is left blank in a record.
Relying on item defaults means fewer settings need to be made and maintained over
time.
You have 4 OR Locations: North, South, East, and West. North, South, and East will all
use the same
list of case tracking events. West will use a smaller list of case tracking events. In which
of the
following records will you need to configure case tracking events to set this up in the
most efficient
way possible. Choose all that apply.
A. North OR Location ﴾EAF﴿
B. South OR Location ﴾EAF﴿
C. East OR Location ﴾EAF﴿
D. West OR Location ﴾EAF﴿
E. OpTime System Definitions ﴾EAF﴿ - ANSWER-D & E. The standard list of case
tracking events (used by North, South, East and West) OpTime Location Definitions and
OpTime System Definitions have a hierarchical relationship: Location Definitions are
more specific whereas OpTime System Definitions are more general. The system will
first search for a setting in Location Definitions; if it is not found, it will look to OpTime
System Definitions.
What is building by exception and how does it allow for efficient build? - ANSWER-
Building by exception describes the process of making general settings in a general
record and more
, specific, unique settings in more specific records. Building by exception allows builders
to set up how
things should generally work in records high in a hierarchy and only set exceptions to
those settings
in more specific records. Examples of records used to build by exception are profiles
and Location
Definitions and OpTime System Definitions.
What is the purpose of reporting? - ANSWER-To find areas that need improvement,
uncover trends across your patient population, monitor the
health of your department, and more.
True or False: Users can use dashboards to quickly review and monitor numerous
metrics at once. - ANSWER-True.
You are using a report to identify how long it typically takes your staff to cleanup and
prep an OR
after one case finishes ahead of another. This report is providing you data on which OR
metric?
A. Case Length Accuracy
B. Case Volume
C. On Time Starts
D. Turnover - ANSWER-D. Turnover refers to the amount of downtime between cases
in the OR.
Your managers report an issue with a first case on time start report they use that
includes add‐ons
when it shouldn't, as add‐on cases throw off the report's calculations. Where might you
need to
reconfigure these settings?
A. OR/Invasive System Definitions only
B. OR Location Definitions only
C. Either OR/Invasive System Definitions or OR Location Definitions
D. You would not make this change. This is the responsibility of the Cogito team. -
ANSWER-C. Many report‐related settings, including whether or not add‐ons should be
included in first time on
time start calculations, are configured by OpTime analysts. If a setting should be true for
all or most
surgery locations, then it will be made in OR/Invasive System Definitions. If a setting
should be true
for one location, then it will be made in OR Location Definitions for that location.
Which of the following items can be configured in a base procedure ﴾ORP﴿ record?
Choose all that
apply.
A. Charge Code ﴾General Information form﴿
