Managing WorkflowNSQIP offers several online

reports that can help you manage your workflow

Some are not applicable to Canadian sites

Under two headings…Workflow ReportsDatabase Statistics

What reports do you currently use to help with workflow?

30 Day Patient LetterNo as useful for Canada since we

don’t record patient names and addresses

You can download a template and use it with your own excel document to create the letter

How do your sites send out letters? Most that I know of use a mail merge with an excel crosswalk….

Request for Medical RecordsAgain, not as useful for Canada

since we don’t use the chart # or medical record # on the workstation

Does anyone use this for anything else?

30 Day Call ListCreates a list of patients with

incomplete follow upCases that are completed but did not

have 30 day follow-up will still show upThis is useful when trying to complete

old cases and re-call patients that have not had complete follow up

All contact info show up so you can see what has happened on previous calls

Weekly Accrual Report

8 Day Cycle Report Summary
