•OR Form

▪Usage: If checked, a new control will display on the toolbar for this form which will allow the user to designate the form to a specific OR visit. When a form designated as an OR form is initially opened, the value indicating the visit number will default to 1, then progress numerically as additional OR forms are opened on that same account. At any time, if the visit number that is displaying is incorrect, it may be manually altered by selecting the "+" or "-" options associated with this field. Multiple forms may be designated as OR Forms and therefore be generated under the same OR visit. EX: Preop, intra op and post op forms may be grouped under a single visit. A Database code (PATORVISIT) is set up on the Electronic Form. The Database code should be set up on a Text Box control and be set to upload and download. See Text Box section for instructions regarding setting up database codes on the control. When an Adhoc Report that contains the information from this form is being generated, the field "Separate by OR visit" should be checked on the report generation screen.

▪Options: To designate an Electronic Form as an OR Form so that multiple visits to the OR during the same stay may be separated if the documentation is queried through the Adhoc Reporting system.
