More efficient document printing with automatic population of Sent, Return and Print dates for agency tracking purposes can be completed through the new Print Control Board in the Main Office software. Access to the new Print Control Board is available in 2 locations in the Main Office software with version number 5759 or later. A Print Control button can be found at the top right corner of the Control Board screen accessed from the middle of the Main Menu screen of the software and in the Utility menu screen found in the bottom right corner of the Main menu screen of HHC 3000.
Once the Print Control Board is accessed, filters are available to pull specific documents to display in the screen. Documents may be filtered by date range, Office or Physician. A filter is available for pulling a specific document type or a group of documents may be selected via the check box column. Documents may also be filtered by (documents) Not Printed, Not Sent and Not Returned. Once filters are in place select the “Load Documents” button and the screen will populate with the filtered documents.
Documents can be marked individually by double clicking on the Mark check box column for the document. Options can also be selected from the utility at the bottom of the screen under ‘Select and Option to Perform’ to Mark Docs Not Sent, Mark Docs not Printed, Mark All or Clear all Marks.
Documents marked can then have options selected in the utility ‘Select and Option to Perform’ drop down to Print & Post Sent Date, Print Only, Post Sent Date and Post Return Date. The utility will allow for simultaneous printing of documents and posting sent dates. When 485 Plan of Care and Physician Orders are returned signed , the utility will allow for population of a Return Date to a group of documents.
The Print Control Board will populate with documents generated from both the Clinical Point of Care Software and those entered directly in the Main Office software. As Allegheny Software Publishers, Inc. move to retire the Clinical Document Log utility in the main office software, it is anticipated the Print Control Board will take the place of the Clinical Document Log agencies have used historically to print documentation completed by clinicians in the Point of Care Software.
