When Radiology results are received and entered by the Nurse, an alert is sent to the Doctor for approval. When the Doctor views the results, they may require a number of tasks to be performed to approve the results entered. This action list needs to be communicated to the concerned staff. The action could be, for example, 'Inform Patient' immediately or repeat the tests.
Fields Description:
Action: Select the required action from the list box. Actions can be defined under the Settings > Configuration > GroupTypes option.
Send Urgent Message: Upon selecting this option, the recipient(s) to whom the message is addressed receives a prompt of the 'Action' to be performed as soon as the recipient user logs in. Also, the email sent shows the status as 'U' (Urgent) in the recipient's Inbox.
To: Select whom the message has to be sent to; choose between Users and Roles, and the Search list displays the respective values. By default, the Users option is selected.
