With images and timestamps, it offers a great paper trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PVA Specific Terminology<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Assessment:&nbsp;<\/strong>An \u201cAssessment\u201d is what is loaded after the QR Code is scanned. The Assessment offers two paths. One path is the \u201cPatient Visit\u201d and the other is \u201cDischarge Room\u201d, see below for definitions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Patient Visit:&nbsp;<\/strong>A \u201cPatient Visit\u201d refers to the Assessment conducted with the Patient directly. The staff member will scan the QR Code and select \u201cPatient Visit\u201d to be presented with a list of questions related to their visit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Discharge Room:&nbsp;<\/strong>The \u201cDischarge Room\u201d Assessment is conducted after the Patient has checked out. After the Patient has departed the room, the staff member will scan the QR Code, choose \u201cDischarge Room\u201d and be presented with a list of questions to assess the state of the room.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Location or Location Name<\/strong>: The \u201cLocation Name\u201d should be clear, concise, and easy to identify where the Assessment, or Survey, is being conducted. For example, \u201cPatient Room 101\u201d or \u201cMaternity Room 101\u201d. The Name will appear on Patient Visit and Room Discharge forms and help when doing analysis in reporting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Type or Location Type<\/strong>: The \u201cLocation Type\u201d is used to build a standard set of questions for particular type of Location, or area, of the facility. The Type is used during the \u201cBulk Add Locations\u201d process. It can also help to categorize the Locations, report on trends, and guide adjustments to staffing as patterns emerge. Examples would be \u201cPatient Room\u201d, \u201cMaternity\u201d, or \u201cEmergency\u201d.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bulk Add Locations:&nbsp;<\/strong>After a \u201cType\u201d is added to the system it is possible to quickly load hundreds of Locations with a single spreadsheet. This is the \u201cBulk Add Locations\u201d process and can dramatically increase the speed at which Locations are made available for QR Codes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Export Locations:<\/strong>&nbsp;Once Locations are added to the system it will be necessary to print the QR Codes. This is done through the \u201cExport Locations\u201d process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Patient Visit Assessments, known as PVA, is real-time assessments of Patient Visit Assessments and Discharge Room Assessments from around the facility.
