Enhancements:

  • created export grid for QuickBooks Excel file input document - it contains: worker name, patient department, resource assignment pay rate amount, resource assignment pay rate basis, number of hours [or number of days] (dependent on rate basis), patient name - the grid should be sorted by worker and within worker, by patient
  • add [go] button to patient primary referral source entry screen to provide access to system table maintenance
  • patient resource assignment screen - change worker, rate amount and rate basis fields to be optional; also, add new fields for shift start time, shift end time, day(s) of week - this item works in conjunction with the following item to filter / find patients having unassigned schedules since worker/rate/basis would be blank but times and days would contain data
  • create AAR grid for patient resource assignment so that they can see patients who are awaiting resources (will be identified by leaving resource assignment worker unfilled)
  • add agency toll free # and fax # at bottom of scheduling calendar
  • update AAR - statistical grid - referral: add patient name

  • created a worker communication screen similar to the patient communication screen. This worker communication screen is a link in the worker maint screen in Admin - Clinical Maint - Worker [search / select worker]. You can also print (a pdf document will be generated) this information by simply clicking the "Print" link at the top of the Communication screen.
