Resource types are values on category lists. This master file stores information about the types of resources you have at your hospital, not the individuals.

What TWO THINGS does a RESOURCE TYPE record do?

Answer 3

1. Adds the Resource Type to its corresponding category list.

Answer 4

They are created in a different way than most category lists and cannot be edited in the category list editor.

Question 5

Why does the RESOURCE TYPE RECORD define the TOTAL NUMBER OF RESOURCES THAT CAN BE USED at a given time?

This ensures you do not schedule more appointments or cases than you have resources to staff.

Question 6

True or False: Resource types can be available for scheduling in Cases, Appointments, or both.

Answer 6

TRUE

Question 7

Do you choose DEPARTMENT or LOCATION for CONFLICT CHECKING?

What are DEPARTMENT LIMITS?

Answer 8

The openings and overbooks defined for each location or department.

Question 9

What links a PROVIDER RECORD (SER) to a RESOURCE TYPE (ORT)?

Answer 9

The Record Type field.

Question 10

True or False: In the CRNA’s provider record, the Record Type field is where you indicate if the user is a CRNA or an Anesthesiologist. This is what links it to the Resource Type ﴾ORT﴿.

Answer 10

False. It is the Anesthesia Staff Type field that links to a Resource Type (ORT) record.

Question 11

True or False: All providers must have a provider ﴾SER﴿ record before they can be assigned to an appointment or case.

Answer 11

True. Provider records authorize a provider to work in specific Invasive Locations (EAF).

Question 12

True or False: All users must have a user ﴾EMP﴿ record before they can be documented by name in a patient’s chart.

Answer 12

False. The user (EMP) record is required for a user to log in to Hyperspace and access tools in Epic. The provider (SER) record is required for a resource (nurse, surgeon, anesthesiologist, piece of equipment) to be assigned to a case and documented in a patient’s chart by name.
