Define Task Associations

When creating an order, eMAR administration, or treatment plan intervention requires completion of one or more tasks, use the Task Associations form to associate those events to tasks.

► Field Descriptions

Field	Description
Task Type	Choose whether the task being associated is a Task Definition (single task) or Task Group.
Task Group/Definition	Search for the desired Task or Task Group to associate.
Task Associations	Displays the associations to the selected Task or Task Group.
Add/Edit/Delete Association	Choose whether to add a new association or edit or delete an existing association.
Existing Association	When editing or deleting, select the existing association to edit or delete.
Update Associations (Button)	Click to update the Task Associations.
Treatment Plan Intervention	Select the treatment plan intervention, defined as a library item via Treatment Plan Definition, to associate to a Task or Task Group. Only interventions with a frequency code defined in the plan will be tasked.
Order Event	Select whether a new order or an eMAR administration should result in a task on Task List. Available options are Administration, Order Entry, and Pre-Administration. Administration should be selected when the Task should be created upon administration of the associated item via eMAR. Order Entry will generate the task(s) upon submission of an order with an associated order code. When the option of Pre-Administration is selected, a direct link to a flowsheet assessment may be attached to an order on eMAR. Pre-Administration does not create a task on Task List. Instead, it presents the Task on the order details card in eMAR. Note that Pre-Administration tasks require use of Flowsheet.
Order Code	When an order event (Administration or Order Entry) should result in a task, select the specific Order Code to associate. Only one of Order Code, Primary Name (Medication), or Route of Administration may be selected.
Order Type	When multiple order codes are associated to a single task, select the specific Order Type to associate. If an Order Code in an Order Type has an individual task association, the individual task association will be utilized instead of the Order Type association. This will avoid duplicate tasks.
Primary Name (Medication)	When an order event (Administration or Order Entry) should result in a task, select the specific medication name to associate. Only one of Order Code, Primary Name (Medication), or Route of Administration may be selected.
Route of Administration	When an order event (Administration or Order Entry) should result in a task, select the specific eMAR route of administration to associate. Only one of Order Code, Primary Name (Medication), or Route of Administration may be selected.
Group with other Administrations	If multiple simultaneous administrations (same administration date and time) may trigger two or more occurrences of the same task, select Yes to restrict to a single task that will complete the associated administration tasks.
Limit to the Following Admin Events	When the selected task should only be presented when the administration was provided via a specific route, select all applicable routes that should result in a task.
Offset	Enter the number of minutes, hours, days, or calendar days to offset the selected task from the administration event.
Offset Units	Select whether the offset is in minutes, hours, days, or calendar days.
Duration	Enter the number of minutes, hours, days, or calendar days for the selected task duration.
Duration Units	Select whether the duration is in minutes, hours, days, or calendar days.
Frequency	Indicate the task frequency to utilize for the selected task association.
