Main Navigation Panel: Clinical Badges

Version 20.0

Overview

Badges in the Main Navigation Panel (also known as 'Alert Bar') represent the number of outstanding items as they relate to the specific areas in OP. The Clinical Group badges are specifically calculated to be meaningful to the Rendering Provider who is logged in. Although the Clinical Group does not calculate badges for non-providers, with the exception of Documents, the Clinical Work window can still be accessed from here. Once the Clinical Work window is opened, the badges are calculated according to the scope. The items listed in the Clinical Group of the Main Navigation Panel are visible based on the permissions of the logged in user. 

The badges in the Clinical Group are updated every 120 seconds. If an updated badge count is needed before the automatic refresh occurs, the user can right-click in the Navigation Panel and click Refresh Badges. The permission needed to see this group in the Main Navigation Panel is F8_Chart. Badges in the Clinical Group are calculated based on the logic below.

Note: The logic below explains how the badges are calculated and should not assume there is not other outstanding work outside of the parameters of the badges. Once the Clinical Work window is accessed by clicking the items in the Clinical group, the scope at the top of the window may be changed. Changing of the scope is useful and necessary in situations such as covering for another provider or cleaning up unfinished clinical work at the end of the day.

Encounters

Any Encounter Note written by the logged-in Rendering Provider in the last 30 days that is unfinalized, including EFR.

This count is never red. The permission needed to see this item in the Main Nav Panel is F8_Peds_PE_btn.

The permission needed to see this item in the Main Nav Panel is F8_Referrals.

  • The user will see referrals they have written regardless of location.

This has a count for each logged-in user (not just Rendering Providers).

This has a count for the logged-in Rendering Provider and has a look-back period of 30 days. The count reflects any surveys ordered by the Rendering Provider that were completed by the patient/family and received by the practice but not yet reviewed. For standing orders on templates, these are assigned based on the schedule column of the Rendering Provider who is expected to host the appointment. Note: If a patient moves an appointment to a different provider and the survey has already been completed, the Rendering Provider will not be reassigned. This count is never red. The permission needed to see this item in the Main Nav Panel is F8_Surveys_btn.

e-Prescribe

This counts any prescriptions written in the last 7 days with a failed status or ones that were added in the last 30 minutes but not retrieved by the pharmacy. This count is always red. The permission needed to see this item in the Main Nav Panel is Prescriptions_ERx_Center.

Refill Requests

This has a rolled up count for all incoming refill and change requests for any prescriber in the practice and will be visible to all prescribing providers with a look-back period of 7 days. The count is displayed with two values: open requests for the logged-in provider/total count. For example: 2/14 indicates the logged-in provider has 2 open refill requests out of 14 totals. There is no concept of locations to the pharmacy, and the original prescription may have not been written by a current provider in the practice. Therefore, the second value is an aggregate count for the practice. This will never be red. The permission needed to see this item in the Main Nav Panel is Prescriptions_ERx_Center.
