Displays

The functionality "Displays" from the submenu "jHQ" in the "Administration" menu is used to define the contents of displays operating within the jHQ queuing system. After selecting this functionality, a list of defined displays is displayed, with "Test" (in the same language version as jHIS system user interface), "Edit" and "Delete" buttons next to each of them. By each display there is also link presented, which should be copied and placed in the browser window on the device that supports the display. An "Add" button is displayed under the list of displays.

To add a new display, click "Add" button. Then a form of adding a display will be displayed where one should enter its name, indicate the method of displaying lists of patients appointed to the surgery rooms, define colors used to display different content (default colors are pre-filled) and click "Add" button.

After clicking the "Add" button, the system will automatically switch to the edit mode of the display content, where in addition to the data available in the form of adding a display, there is a section for defining the screens presented on the display. One or more screens can be defined for each display. Screen definition consists of its contents and display / refresh time. If one screen is defined for one display, it will be displayed continuously, the view will be refreshed at the given time. Refreshing aims to update the screen content, eg screens presenting the numbers of the tickets called or the list of patients appointed to the surgery room must be refreshed as the numbers of the tickets called and statuses of the patients change over time, therefore the content of such screens must be refreshed (updated). In the case of screens displaying buttons for printing tickets or information slides, refreshing is unnecessary - in such cases, the time should be given sufficiently long that refreshing will not take place.

To add a new screen, click the green "+" button. This will open a new window with the screen adding form, in which you should indicate the screen content, specify its display / refresh time in seconds and save the data by clicking the "Add" button.

To remove the screen, click the red "×" button and confirm your intention by clicking "OK" in the window asking for confirmation.

If several screens have been defined for the display, the order in which they are displayed can be changed by moving them with clicking the blue buttons with the up or down arrow symbols.

The contents and times for already entered screens can be modified in the "Screens" section of the display data form, keeping in mind that after the modification is made, save them by clicking the "Update" button.

To modify the display data, click the "Edit" button on the display in the list. The display edit form with its data will be displayed. You can make changes to the form as described in the previous paragraph. The changes should be saved by clicking the "Save" button.

To remove the display, click the "Delete" button on the display in the list. The form will then be displayed with display data in read-only mode. The intention to delete the display should be confirmed by clicking the "Delete" button.

To check what the content of the display looks like, click "Test" on the display in the list. This will open the current display in the new window. For info slides, the graphic is displayed in the center of the screen. If the image size is larger than the screen size, the image is automatically scaled so that it fits on the screen. If the image does not occupy the entire screen, then the rest of the screen is filled with the background color defined for the slide.

In the case of working hours of staff in the surgery room for each person working today in a given surgery room, on the screen there are presented the hours of admission along with an indication of the clinic in which the admissions at given hours in a given surgery room are realized. The font size for the presentation of the admission hours is automatically selected in such a way that the information on working hours fills up as much space as possible on the screen in its entirety.

In the case of a list of patients appointed to the surgery room, the screen displays the admission statuses, times of visits and personal details of the patients appointed for visits, and under the list of patients there are explanations of the individual statuses of admissions. The admission statuses have the form of icons that differ in symbol and background color. The following admission statuses exist:

  • did not show up - the patient did not show up for the visit and the visit was marked as "unrealized"
  • served - the patient did show up for the visit and the visit was marked as "completed"
  • in the surgery room - the patient is currently in the surgery room, his visit is in progress
  • expects - the patient expects (or should expect) an appointment in front od the surgery room
  • please register for registration - the patient has not completed all the required formalities, therefore, before the visit should go to registration to complete
  • please enter the surgery room - the patient is asked to enter the surgery room for an appointment; the icon of this status is the only one that blinks so that it is easily visible to the patient on the display, at the same time there is a sound signal (the sound is played only in the case of the Firefox browser and lasts 3 seconds, so the screen display/refresh time should not be shorter than 3 seconds for the sound to be played in its entirety)

Patients' personal information can be presented in various forms of full name or only its initial letters and full name or only its initial letters according to the definition of the display (eg full name and first letter of the surname, patient's initials, ...). The size of the font for presenting the list of patients is automatically selected in such a way that the list of patients fills up as much space on the screen as possible.

In the case of ticket printing, buttons with the names of ticket types are presented on the screen, and touching (on the touch screen) of the appropriate button results in printing a patient ticket on the appropriate printer. The buttons are arranged on the screen in such a way that everyone occupies the entire width of the screen and all take up the entire height of the screen and the font size of the labels on the buttons is automatically selected in such a way that each entire string fits on the button in one line. In the current version of the system, the "Standard printer" ticket printing interface has been programmed allowing to print tickets on a traditional default printer for a given device. In the case of the "Standard printer" interface it is suggested to use on the device on which the buttons for printing tickets will be displayed, the Chrome browser running in such a way that when the ticket printing button is touched, printing was performed immediately without previewing the printout and printing properties window. In order for the Chrome browser to work in such a way, all chrome processes should be terminated with the task manager and then the browser should be launched with the following command (paying attention to two spaces before the --disable-print-preview option):

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --disable-print-preview –kioskprinting

In the case of ticket numbers, the font size used to display the ticket number is automatically selected in such a way that the ticket number fills up as much as possible on the screen. Each time the ticket number changes on the screen (that is, when the next ticket number is called) the number on the screen flashes for three seconds and there is a sound signal (the sound is played only in the case of the Firefox browser and lasts 3 seconds, so the screen display / refresh time should not be shorter than 3 seconds for the sound to be played in its entirety)

In the case of confirmation of arrival at the visit, buttons with numbers are displayed on the screen to enter the number of an appointment and the "OK" and "×" buttons, the first of which allows you to confirm the visit of a given number (after entering it) and the second allows you to start entering the number from scratch (in the case of a mistake during its introduction). If the visibility of the visit numbers within the jHQ queuing system is enabled in the jHIS system configuration, then the number of the visit appears each time in the message confirming visit appointment and in the visit details window for each patient registered for the visit and in the summary printout of the visit for the patient, therefore it should be communicated to the patient immediately after arranging the visit. After entering the visit number and confirming it with the "OK" button (by touching the buttons on the touch screen), the appropriate message is displayed instead of the entered number (informing about the success or failure of registering the confirmation of arrival), which disappears after three seconds.

In the case of patients currently called to the surgery rooms, the screen displays a list of visiting hours along with personal details of patients referred to at the given moment by medical staff to the surgery rooms from a specific collection (eg all surgery rooms in the clinic, all surgery rooms on a given clinic floor, etc.) and by each patient's name there displays the name of the surgery room to which the patient is being called. Patients' personal information can be presented in various forms of full name or only its initial letters and full name or only its initial letters according to the definition of the display (eg full name and first letter of the surname, patient's initials, ...). The size of the font for presenting the list of patients is automatically selected in such a way that the list of patients fills up as much space on the screen as possible. Such a screen may be useful for patients waiting in one waiting room for visits to various surgery rooms - in such a situation, on one screen, information is visible which patient at which moment to which surgery room is being called.
