The Visit Types List in PVA is where you will find the types of visits available in the system.
A Visit Type is a standard set of questions associated with a Location, or a category of visit, that the questions will be used to assess.
The Location Type can help to categorize the Locations, report on trends, and guide adjustments to staffing as patterns emerge. Examples would be “Patient Room”, “Maternity”, or “Emergency”.
Below we will deep dive into the various features and what the Visit Type would be used for.
You can access this page from the navigation bar by expanding the “PVA – All” menu, then expand “Visit Types” and click “List Types”.
The PVA “Location Types” is a list of all the active “Types” that have been loaded into the Patient Visit Assessment (PVA) system.
