O/R Census Report

The O/R Census Report performs O/R Suite utilization calculations in terms of the number of ongoing cases in a facility over the course of the day. The time interval examined (or number of time segments per day) can be broken down into 6, 10, 15, or 30 minute intervals. The report can be run by either the maximum or the average number of cases per interval over the date range selected.

The report sorts and breaks on facility as other sorts will just tend to "water-down" the results. The purpose of the report is to examine average and maximum case load by facility to help determine staff coverage needs. Sorting be plan, procedure, etc. isn't relevant to the purpose of the report.

The O/R Census Report request form is a tabbed dialog that consists of a General tab, a Sorting tab, and a Selection tab.

Frequently when a report is run, you only wish to see data meeting certain criteria. The Selection tab consists of a list of fields they you may use to include or exclude specific data values from the report. For example, you may wish to run a report for just a certain physician or excluding a certain location.

By clicking on the checklist for the appropriate field (physicians, facilities, etc.) you may then select to include or exclude certain values from the respective tables. The limit to the number of specific values you can select is limited to your ability (or willingness) to enter them. While there is a theoretical limit to the number of selections you can make, you will run out of patience before MedSuite runs out of room to save them. Muli-Selections work with standard Windows keyboard functionality. CTRL+Click to select one at a time, SHIFT+Click to select a range of maintenance files.
