Report:  Dispensing Times

 

(Topic Last Updated On:  05/05/2010)

 

This report displays a detailed view of the number of patients dosed on the Dose Patient screen for each time frame, in 30-min intervals for each day of the week over a selected date range.  This report is generally run periodically and reviewed by administrative staff to view dosing trends, the busiest times of day at the dosing window, and to ensure the facility is adequately staffed to handle patient traffic.  The 'Average # of Patients' totals allow administrators to quickly identify the busiest times of each weekday at the dosing window(s).
