The test program rules section is used to automatically generate test due dates. Enabling the rules in this section adds a Due-for-Testing Report option to the reports.
Configuration settings include:
- Initial Test: determines the time period in which initial testing must be completed after the hire or creation date of a patient.
- Enabling and setting values will generate test due dates for patients who either have no audiograms or were hired after their latest audiograms.
If no hire date is set, creation date of the patient will be used.
- Regular Testing: determines the time period in which regular testing should be conducted for a patient.
- Enabling and setting values will generate test due dates within a specified period of time after a patient’s last test.
- Values input should reflect the general limit for how long patients can go untested.
You may also configure regular testing to occur within one year of an employee's birth month or month of hire. The test will be due on the last day of the month.
- Retesting: determines the time period in which re-testing should be conducted for a patient, after their previous test.
- Enabling and setting values will generate test due dates when patients are flagged as requiring a retest.
Test due date will be calculated based on value input in this section.
