File Menu: Setting: General Tab
Note: This Tab is only visible in Manager Mode.
Save Recovery Info with Print
This feature will save the selections from the last print session. Therefore,
if there is a paper jam or other problem related to the printer, or if you
need to change the language printed or make any other minor changes in the info
given, you will be able to restore the last print session, make changes and
reprint. This feature is not available in the Lite version of Exit-Writer.
Use Last Attending MD
In a situation where there is a single Attending MD seeing patients, this
features avoids the need for repeatedly selecting the Attending's name each time a
new patient is discharged. With this feature turned on, the Attending Name
remains constant in the Attending MD field of the Custom Screen until a new name
is selected from the Attending MD List.
Show New Patient Button
When your Hospital Registration system or ED Management Software has been set
up to send data files to Exit-Writer, this option will turn on a button that appears on the Custom Screen which
lets you change to a Patient List screen. This screen displays all patients
registered but not yet discharged.
Selecting a patient from this list will add the data to the Custom Screen and
remove this patient from the Patient List Screen.
Patient Import Polling Interval
Setting this interval determines how often the Import directory is polled for
new patients registered. This works in conjunction with systems that have been
setup to export patient data to Exit-Writer. Contact Parker Hill Associates for details. This feature is not available in the Lite version of Exit-Writer.
Patient Import Files Path
This tells Exit-Writer where to look for patient data as described in the above feature.
Instruction Import/Export Path
If new instructions are stored in a separate directory outside of Exit-Writer, this will make it easier for you to locate this path for importing and
exporting. Most users will not make use of this function.
Spanish Permanently On
The Spanish Permanently On feature will enable Spanish to be the default
language for printing the instructions. This is intended for locations where
Spanish is the predominant language.
The software is shipped with this feature turned OFF. With the feature
enabled, printing in English is possible by clicking to toggle the Spanish OFF button
on the Title Screen. After the current print session is completed, the Spanish
ON button will appear again. See Link below.
Large Font Permanently On
The Large Font feature will reformat all printouts to be in larger font for
easier reading by the elderly and visually impaired. The effect of this is that
the same instruction will take up more lines and may run onto a second page.
See Link below.
Special Advice On
The Special Advice Template is a feature of the Custom Screen that permits
"fill in the blank" entries for standard follow-up advice. The purpose of this
feature is to save you from writing that same information repeatedly on every
patient. The feature can be turned off permanently; or it can be turned off for
individual print sessions when it does not apply. When the template is turned
off, Special Advice can be entered in free-text form into the designated area.
See Link below.
Special Advice Default Check On
When checked, the Special Advice Template will always be on. When unchecked,
the default will be to have the Special Advice Template visible but not active
on the Custom Screen until the On box is checked.
KEY SEARCH:
Time Out to Reset Search String
This is the amount of time the software will wait following the last key in a
title-search before the search field is blanked out and ready for a new search.
Prior to this time, the next keystroke will be considered part of the current
search. After this time, the next keystroke will be considered the first
letter of a new search.
# Characters to wait before search
This field indicates how many characters you must type before the search
begins. The minimum is 1. The shorter the interval, the more the list bounces up
and down as you type. Since most titles can be found with 2 or 3 keystrokes.
This is the preferred setting.
Delay Interval to Trigger Search
After the first keystroke, a search will begin after this time interval, even
if the minimum number of characters as designated above has not been input.
