Overview
Setup is found in the grey left-hand side bar. Hover over the sidebar with the cursor and the bar will expand. Select Setup to expand a drop-down list of setup pages within PTS. To choose a setup page, select its name from the list.
Nearly every type of prescription is assigned a ward at booking in. Users on the ward - such as nurses - are typically given a read-only view of the system based exclusively on their assigned ward, which they can use to monitor the progress of their prescriptions.
When possible your list of wards will be imported into the system by your PTS technician during initial installation.
Adding new ward
To create a new ward access the actions menu by clicking on the actions menu icon at the top right of the page, then from the actions menu click the New Ward button.
Unlike most of the other setup pages you will be asked for a few details before you can create the ward:
- Name
The name of the ward. - Dispensaries that will serve this ward
From the drop down list of available dispensaries click on the ones that can serve this ward. If you select more than one dispensary you'll also be asked to specify which one is the default. - Create user?
Enable this to create an associated generic ward user account for this ward. This is a popular option; the alternative is to create individual PTS accounts for everybody on the ward. - Template
The role, or template for the new user account. Select the appropriate role from the drop down list e.g. Ward Staff. - Password
Set a password for the ward user. This can be changed later if required.
Click OK when you're done. The process then continues in the ward popup. If you chose to create a ward user it will now be available in the users setup page.
Editing existing wards
To edit an existing ward, select the ward you wish to amend by clicking on its entry in the list to load the ward popup (note clicking the tickbox has another dedicated function).
