Forms List
The Forms List, accessed through the main menu under Form, contains three sections to help you keep track of forms that require some action on your part. These are:
-
pending
-
unsent
-
recent forms
If you do not have any forms of that type, a message will indicate that you do not have any at this time. Otherwise, details about the forms in each section are provided.
If you have permission and/or are required to complete forms, when you open EMResource or a form arrives, the Form window opens and an audible alert sounds. The number of pending forms also appears on the page action bar and acts as a link to the Forms List.
My Pending Forms
You can view pending forms by clicking Pending Forms in the page action bar or through the main menu, by clicking Form and selecting Form List. The forms you have received and have not yet completed appear in the My Pending Forms section. If you start a form and save it as a draft, it remains available to you in the Pending Forms list.
You can also view pending forms at any time through the notification center by clicking the animated bell icon in the solution bar. Refer to Notifications for more information.
My Unsent Forms
Forms that you complete without designating recipients appear in your My Unsent Forms list. You can click Send to select recipients and send the form. If you no longer want to submit the form, you can click Delete, as long as the form is not set up as a mandatory form. Refer to Complete and Send a Form for more information.
My Recent Forms
In any form's life cycle, there are essentially three "actors" that include, the:
-
Individual who activates the form
-
Individual and/or resource completing and submitting the form (can also be the activator)
-
Individual and/or resource receiving the completed form
If you are involved with the form in any of these ways, the form appears in your My Recent Forms list for 24 hours after receipt. Even if you did not complete the form, it will appear in this list if you or your resource are responsible for it. When you receive a completed form, the form window opens and an audible alert sounds. If you acknowledge the form, it is available in your My Recent Forms list. You can also run a Form Detail Report to view its details.
Example The first shift nurse at your facility completed a form. You can view it during your shift, as long as it is within the 24-hour timeframe.
