Protocol group items - Home tab

 

There are 2 options within this group:

 

  1. Status  

 

The status dropdown option controls the active status of the pathway. There are 3 statuses:

 

  1. Develop
  2. Test
  3. Publish

 

 

 

Develop. (The default status on a new pathway) places the rule in development mode. This makes the pathway inactive and is used for pathways that are being created. A pathway distributed to practices under this status will not be visible to users at the practice.

 

Test. This places the pathway in single user mode. A pathway distributed to practices under this status will only be visible to the owner of the pathway. This mode tends to be used if a GP practice has the Pathway Developer tool activated with the surgery.

 

Publish. Once a pathway has been developed and tested it must be set to Publish mode if being distributed to practices. This makes the pathway active and practices that have been granted access to this pathway will be able to use all the features of the developed pathway.

 

 

  1. Alert Group  

 

The Alert group determines what section this pathway will be visible under within the clinical system. There 4 default groups and custom groups can also be created.

 

The current default groups are:

 

  1. Enhanced Services
  2. SIGN
  3. NICE
  4. OTHER

 

Picking an alert group from the list will place the pathway in that list within the clinical system.
