Introduction
This section of the end user guide will explain the basic layout, navigation and terms associated with the Tolven applications.
Tolven provides consistent application behavior between the electronic Personal Health Record, the electronic Clinician Health Record and the electronic Clinical Research Subject Record.
Terms
The Tolven application is made up of a number of elements that are all described in this section of the user guide.
Tabs
Tabs are used to navigate between major functional areas of the Tolven applications. Examples of such tabs include Activities, Patient, Administration and tabs that provide access to a record that has been opened by a user.
Activity Tab
The “Activity” tab provides access to a list of events that is populated by work-flow events. Activities can include “Work in Progress” and notifications of “Shared Data” from other accounts. Data in the “Activity” list can be sorted by clicking on the column headings or by typing filtering criteria into the “Filter” box.
Work in Progress
Tolven applications support the concept of “Work in Progress.” This means whenever users are in the process of performing a data entry task, should they not have time to finish it, lose connectivity to the network or closes the data collection wizard by mistake; the work that had been undertaken to that point is automatically saved. To continue the data entry process, simply select the item from the “Activity” list and either complete it or cancel it if it is no longer required.
Patient Tab
The “Patient” tab provides access to a number of lists for selecting a person’s record to interact with in the Tolven applications. Patient and subject lists can include a complete list of patients accessible via this account, disease-specific or process-specific patient lists that are populated automatically by rules.
Admin Tab
The “Admin” tab provides access to administration functions for configuring the application, including setting up locations, doctors and defining which “Providers” data can be securely shared electronically using the “Share” functions.
Patient Record Tabs
The tabs that contain patient details (e.g., First Name, Last Name, Gender and Age) provide access to the patient’s information. It is possible to have any number of patient tabs open at any one time. The data displayed in the “Patient Record” tab can be configured by your system administrator.
More
The “More” tab provides access to the customization features associated with the displays. The user can customize the tabs to decide which ones are visible, which ones open by default tab when accessing the Tolven applications and the order in which they appear. The order of the tabs is changed by simply dragging and dropping the name of the tab (e.g., Activity, Patient or Admin) to the position required.
When there are more patient tabs open than can be displayed or more functions than can be displayed in a function bar, the patient name or functions will be moved to appear as a list when “More” is selected.
Function Bars
Function bars are the horizontal bars that contain a series of buttons that enable the user to access specific functionality. In the example below the functions include Overview, Problems and Medications. The functions that are available to a user are driven by permission features that are described later in this end user guide. Selecting an item from the function bar will invoke specific lists depending on the function selected.
Wizards
“Wizards” are data entry forms. “Wizards” can be used to capture any type of data, including but not limited to numeric values, dates, medication names, images and, where appropriate, free text.
