Avatar eMAR 2022 Quarterly Release 2022.03 Summary

Avatar eMAR is enhanced to allow 'Follow-Up Reminders' for an 'Administration Event' to be generated based upon an order's 'Reason Code'. This is achieved via three new extended attributes off of the 'Reason Code Setup' dictionary (Order Entry Tabled Files, data element 504): 'Generate eMAR Follow-Up Reminders', 'Time Interval For eMAR Follow-Up Reminder (Minutes)', and 'eMAR Follow-Up Reminder Heading'. In the event that 'Follow-Up Reminders' are also set to generate based on 'Order Code' or order 'Priority', the 'Time Interval' and 'Heading' will be determined as follows: 1) If only one of the configurations has a 'Time Interval' defined, then that 'Time Interval' will be used along with that configuration's 'Heading' (if defined). 2) If more than one configuration has a 'Time Interval' defined, then the configuration with the shortest 'Time Interval' will be used if the 'Time Intervals' are not the same. 3) If more than one configuration has the same 'Time Interval' defined, but only one configuration has a 'Heading' defined, then the configuration with the 'Heading' defined will be used. 4) If the configuration based on the order's 'Reason Code' is identical (same 'Time Interval' and 'Heading') to another configuration that also calls for a 'Follow-up Reminder', then the 'Reason Code' configuration will not be used to trigger the 'Follow-up Reminder' (the other configuration will be used). Note: Avatar OE 2022 Update 72 must also be installed in order to make use of this functionality.

Value Added: Allows the ability to define Reason Codes for which a follow-up should be generated after an administration.
