Within Manage, you can design, maintain and administrate a full patient survey system. Once created, these surveys can be managed within the Patient Information file (Patient Information) or from an Appointment in the Appointment Scheduler (Appointment Schedule.)
The screen prompts are:
To add a new survey, click ADD.
NAME - Give a short name for the survey.
DESCRIPTION - Give a brief description of what this survey is.
PREREQUISITE - If a prerequisite survey prior to this survey needs to be completed by a patient, choose the prerequisite survey using the drop-down list.
DAYS SURVEY IS VALID FOR - Indicate (in number of days) how long this survey will be valid and relates to PREREQUISITE's. For example, Survey 2 has a prerequisite that Survey 1 must be completed. You can stipulate that Survey 1 is valid for 365 days. This means if a user wants to use Survey 2, the system would verify that Survey 1 has been completed within the past 365 days. Basically ensuring that Survey 2 can only be completed if Survey 1 is still valid.
