    Article summary

    Home Screen 

    This is a view of what the Needs Module home screen looks like.


    Top Buttons

    Add Button

    Start the process of adding an item to the Needs List. For more information on this, visit Add a Turn or Priority Tray. It is the same process followed to add an item to the Assembly Needs List.

    Actions 

    Delete - If the item was added manually to the list, users are able to delete it from the list. If it was added via the Cases Module, it must be marked as Don't Need in the specific case to be removed from the list.

    View Detail - Display the case details for the selected item.

    Config
    If an item on the Needs List is no longer needed, the case it is associated with should be modified in the Cases Module. In most cases, the best way to do this is to mark the item as Don't Need. However, it is important to listen to how management would like to handle this. Some may decide to request an update to the Preference Card in the EMR System instead of marking the item as Don't Need. Sonar is a reflection of what is in the EMR System so any changes made there will be visible in Sonar.

    Attempting to Delete an item that was fed into the Needs List from the Cases Module will result in this message:

    Clicking this button will load the home screen again. The time displayed is the last time the page was refreshed.

    Config
    If the items are linked, Sonar can recommend specific inventory numbers to pick. It takes many factors into consideration like where the inventory is in the process or how long it has been sitting on the shelf. Consider picking the exact inventory Sonar recommends if possible. It will assist with inventory rotation and proper inventory management through the cases scheduled for the day.

    The algorithm running behind the scenes that helps Sonar decide inventory numbers runs every 15 minutes. The Refresh button will not speed up this process, it really just takes that long to crunch the numbers!
