Overview
This flow describes how to link departments to an encounter, and how to remove them.
Departments decide who can see the encounter. Staff of a linked department can open the encounter. Every encounter has at least one department. You choose the first department when you create the encounter.
Pre-requisites
- The patient has an open encounter at your facility, and you opened that encounter.
- The departments you want belong to the same facility as the encounter.
- You have the permissions listed below.
Permissions
| Permission | Access |
|---|---|
| Update Encounter non clinical | Link a department to the encounter, and remove a linked department. Administrator, Doctor, Nurse and Facility Administrator have this permission. |
Steps
1. Open the department sheet
Go to the encounter page.
Use one of these entry points:
- Open Encounter Actions with the
Shift+Eshortcut, then select Update Department. - On the Overview tab side panel, select Update Department.
Note: MANSOQ defines no keyboard shortcut for the Update Department action.
2. Add a department
- Open the department selector.
- Select one or more departments.
MANSOQ links each department to the encounter as you select it.
The department must belong to the facility of the encounter. If it does not, MANSOQ shows "Organization Incompatible with Encounter".
You cannot link the same department twice. If you try, MANSOQ shows "Organization already exists".
3. Remove a department
- Find the department in the list of linked departments.
- Select the delete icon beside the department.
MANSOQ shows "Organization removed successfully".
You cannot remove a department that is not linked. If you try, MANSOQ shows "Organization does not exist".
Expected Outcome
- The encounter shows the linked departments in the list of departments.
- Staff of each linked department can open the encounter.
Note: A user of the department that owns the current bed of the patient can also open the encounter. This applies even when MANSOQ does not link that department to the encounter.
