We have improved the way that cases appear on the Schedule. For each procedural location, Appointment Cards for three cases will be displayed. The card at the top will represent the appointment that is currently underway. The cards for next two appointments scheduled in that location will appear below it.

Compressed versions of appointment cards will be displayed at the bottom of each location column. These compressed appointment cards contain the projected Start and End Time of an appointment (based on the duration of the case), the name of the physician performing the scheduled procedure, and the procedure that will be performed.

Note: Clicking on a compressed appointment card will still result in the Patient Details Panel being opened.

Refer to the related TeleTracking® Help Center content for more information on the Schedule View.

We are excited to introduce the Delay Reasons feature, designed to help hospital staff efficiently document and manage delays in patient procedures.

You can easily indicate or clear case delays as needed. A yellow "!" symbol shows when there's a delay, and it disappears automatically when the patient reaches the procedure location. Administrators can add, edit, or delete delay reasons in the Delay Reasons Dictionary and group them for easier selection and assignment to departments.

We now offer support for Bedside Procedures that patients receive while undergoing Procedural Care. Examples of Bedside Procedures include blood draws, portable x-rays or CT scans, etc. Bedside Procedures allow staff to request, perform, and track interventions directly at the patient's location, with updated indicators and milestones to ensure seamless integration into the patient's care plan.

The Wheels Out data point is now available!

This data point is a timestamp that is populated when a patient is moved out of an OR location or RTLS indicates that a patient has left an OR location.

The Wheels Out data point can be used to calculate key metrics such Block Time Utilization and Room Turnover Time in Data IQ®.

The Departure modal has been revamped to include a Depart Now button. This allows for the immediate departure of a patient from Workflow IQ®.

Refer to the related TeleTracking® Help Center content for more information about the departure process.

Administrators can now add, remove, or re-order Bed Cleaning Milestones at the unit level.

For more information about Location Turn Milestones, such as configuration steps, refer to the related TeleTracking® Help Center content.

We have made improvements to better support managing patients with multiple appointments. If a patient has multiple appointments, the Action Menu item now allows staff to select to complete a single appointment without cancelling any outstanding scheduled appointments.

Note: Completing an appointment may lead to an automatic departure for the patient if that appointment is their last one on the schedule.

To view the steps required to complete an appointment, refer to the related TeleTracking® Help Center content.

We have implemented fast polling! This means that the system will search for changes made to data on the screen every 0.5 seconds and update the user interface accordingly.

This change has been applied to the following screens:

A flag has been introduced to monitor the first case each operating room (OR) handles daily.

This first case's start time is measured against the OR's scheduled opening time.

Should the first case in any OR commence later than the scheduled opening time, it is deemed late.

The OR’s scheduled opening time can be configured as the First Case Start Time in the Procedure Settings.
