Issuing a Query
Queries are issued by clicking into the item data hyperlink of interest and clicking the ‘add’ button within the queries section of the pop up window. Here, settings can be established to dictate who can view and close the query.
Editing Query Settings
Settings or attributes related to a query thread can be edited at any point in time by clicking the edit button next to the query thread of interest.
Continuing a Query
Once a query has been issued, it assumes an ‘Unanswered’ state. It is typically the responsibility of the clinic to respond to unanswered queries.
Answering a Query
The authorized user may answer the Query by typing the explanation/clarification into the provided field and clicking “Save”. The Query with an answer will assume “Answered” state.
The Query only assumes “Answered” state, when a user different from the one who has issued the Query adds an answer. If the user who has created the Query adds additional text in the “Answer” area, the Query remains in “Unanswered” state.
Closing a Query
Once a query has been answered, it assumes an ‘Answered’ state. It is typically the responsibility of the query issuer to then ask for more information (reverting the query to an ‘Unanswered’ state and therefore placing back in the clinic’s queue) or to acknowledge the response and mark the query as closed.
