Supplies/Resources, PACU Phase 1

In the CDM module you can reconcile Supplies, Resources, and Trays for a case for billing, costing and inventory purposes. For example, you can indicate the quantity of items used in the case, deplete your inventory of items used, or indicate which items were wasted or defective. This topic addresses updating the Supplies/Resources log from the PACU Phase 1 > Supplies/Resources Sheet Bar option.

To reconcile supplies and resources, the case status must be set to one of the following: Performed, Partially Performed/Billable, Partially Performed/Not Billable, or In Progress. Supplies/Resources/Trays will not be allowed to be updated if the case status is set to Pending or Cancelled.

For information on integration with AmkaiCharts, SIS Charts, and/or SIS Advanced and workflow issues in the CDM module, see About the CDM module.

Click the Refresh Locking Info button to see if the case has been released for editing.
To pull all supplies, etc. listed on the Preference card(s) into this section, click the Load Pref Card(s) button on the middle area of the Case > General screen. You can only click this button once, and the system will populate the date and your name when you click the button.
