Using a vitals test to test EMR
connectivity
In addition to the review functionality, the program allows you to create a vitals test without having the
central station involved. Use this method to test the EMR connectivity.
Create a vitals test
WARNING Patient data risk. Create the VitalTestApp role only in your network's test
environment. Do not create this role in an environment that interacts with actual patients.
Sending vitals tests to a live hospital network may interfere with current patient data.
1. Log in to the program using the VitaTestApp role as described.
The Home screen appears.
2. Select a patient from the list, and go to the Patient Details screen.
If you are logged in correctly, the Take Measurements button will appear on the top right of the
screen.
Note
There is no ProView functionality to create new patients. New patients must be added to
the server via inbound ADT data.
3. Click Take Measurements.
The measurement entry screen appears.
4. Use the pre-populated default values or enter values for the current vitals measurements. Episodic
measurements represent confirmed data, and simulated continuous measurements represent
unconfirmed data.
Note
Any text entered in the Note area on this screen will not be passed through to the EMR.
5. If you are sending episodic measurements, make sure you click the checkbox next to Confirmed
by fake clinician. If you are sending simulated continuous measurements, make sure the
checkbox next to Confirmed by fake clinician is not checked.
6. Click Save to test the server.
The test is displayed in the Patient Details test list. Use the EMR Status to verify that the test was
successfully sent to the EMR.
Note
This screen does not automatically update. Once the vitals test is sent, the vitals
measurements return to the pre-populated default values.
7. To start a new vitals test, return to step 2.
You must click Save each time you want to send a new test.
