Name: Enter a name for the group. This is a mandatory field without which the group information cannot be saved.
Code: Enter a code for the group. If a code length is defined for a particular group type, then it is mandatory for that group and will have to be defined here. Codes are always in Upper Case and Must be of the defined length. Drug Classes, Routes have well defined codes. So, a clinic too may have defined codes for Departments / Specialties OR it may just prefer to maintain a list without using any codes. Make sure the definition in Group Types is consistent with the clinic practice.
Sequence No.: Enter a sequence number, if required. When displaying a list of eligible groups, they would be shown sorted by Name. If the user desires to see the list in any particular sequence of his choice, they have the option to define a sequence number. The system will always show the list sorted by Sequence No., followed by Name. With this mechanism it is not necessary to define the Sequence No. for all entries, nor is it necessary to have the Sequence No. be unique. It can be changed any number of times, without any side effects.
Note:
- A group cannot be deleted, if it referred to in any other record in the Clinical Information System.
- System Group Types cannot be Added or Deleted. Only the Name field can be edited.
If hierarchy is applicable for a group, additional fields are available as follows:
Parent: It displays the name of the Parent of the selected group.
Action:
- Edit: Is the default action where the name and sequence number of the selected group can be edited.
- Add Child: Notice that the selected Group becomes the Parent, the Name and Code has become blank allowing the user to add a Child
- Add Sibling: Notice that the Parent remains unchanged, Name and Code have become blank allowing the user to add a new Group.
Diagrams: The Code is used to determine the Image filename.
Legal Doc: The Code is used to define the Standard Legal Documents. If the Code Starts with ‘W’ it is assumed that the Document needs to be signed by a Witness.
State: The Code corresponds to the Two Characters of the State as used in the Zip Code Prefix. The List of Codes is Pre-Built.
Drug Freq: Drug Frequency has Codes like TID, QD to indicate Thrice a Day, Once a Day. The records are pre-generated on Creation. The Numbers corresponding to TID, QD namely 3, 1 are stored in the No. of Day.
Follow Up Days: The Number of days for a particular Follow up can be defined in Number of days field.
Time Zone: The time difference between the server and the client location can be decided based on Time Zones. This time difference can be saved in "Time Difference in Minutes".
