Room Type Dictionary
The Room Type dictionary defines the different kind of rooms located in the facility that are used in AmkaiOffice. In a typical ASC the rooms will be either Operating Rooms or Procedure Rooms. The system can also differentiate between P.A.T and Recovery Rooms.
The Room Type associated to a room will determine which drop down menus the room is displayed in and the type of appointments that can be booked in the room. Many state reports and bench marking reports capture statistical information on number of cases performed in ORs vs.. those performed in Procedure rooms. The Room type will be referenced in the Room dictionary.
The Room type dictionary is a Shared (Business Group) dictionary. The items entered in the dictionary will be available to all of the Business Entity in the Business Group.
