1 Overview

1.1 Introduction

This Use Case document is structured to describe each Use Case Model per the existing system in terms of:

• Summary

• Users

• Relationships

• Activity Diagrams

• Flows of Events

The purpose of this document is to describe and identify steps and actions between a user and software system. The Objective of this document is to represents scenario and functionality of the “Oscar 14 Landing Page” Module and it’s interaction with OSCAR system.

1.2 Reference/Inputs

1.3 Glossary

1.4 Use Case Purpose

• To hold Functional Requirements in an easy to read, easy to track text format.

• Represent the goal of an interaction between users and the system. The goal represents a meaningful and measurable objective for the user.

• Record a set of paths (scenarios) that traverse an user from a trigger event (start of the use case) to the goal (success scenarios).

• Record a set of scenarios that traverse an user from a trigger event toward a goal but fall short of the goal (failure scenarios).

• Multi-level: one use case can use/extend the functionality of another.

2 Landing Page Use Case

2.1 Business Need

Oscar, for the 2014 release, is completely redesigned with a concept of multiple landing pages acting as default navigation pages. Landing page layout is completely depending on the role of user within organization. Each user is able to customize his personal landing page based on customization settings assigned to each group of users.

OSCAR Landing Page is replacing current Schedule screen. This landing page is build using the Twitter Bootstrap style scheme. Greatly improved schedule screen will act as the Administrative and Receptionist landing page. University Health Network (UHN) is currently working on redesign plans for the Schedule screen, which will act as the Home Page for Reception and Administrative users. Main layout and design requirements and designs will be provided by UHN at a later date.

Clinician-centered landing page combines easy navigation to the main OSCAR modules with the list of patients and their appointments. This functionality is greatly reducing needs for the clinicians to access patient’s schedule module. In one click user can access patient’s demographic record and patient’s medical summary record while staying on the Landing Page.

These new Landing Pages are based on a dashboard-like design, with menus and tabbed navigation throughout all Landing Pages tying the design, look and navigation flows together across selected user roles in Oscar 14.e navigation panel user works with the list of patients and other tabs

2.2 Description: Clinician Landing Page

The creation of a Clinician Landing Page, combing a tabbed navigation dashboard, workflow for module units (inbox, ticklers, etc.) and new access points to the eChart and Demographic Record modules, will increase the efficiency of Clinician interaction with the Oscar system.

On the new Landing page Summary tab is created to access all existing eChart functionality. Details tab activating current Master Demographic record module. In this layout clinicians can easily switch between modules having patient in focus. At the same time users can in a matter of one click to find any patient or pick one from today’s schedule. Also doctors could view list of their patients and resident’s patients at the same screen.

Clinicians landing page is defaulted to dashboard, but can be changed in the Setting. As for Receptionist landing page is defaulted to Schedule.

2.3 Basic Scenario:

• Clinicians with the correct credentials (MRP doctor, residents, nurses, team assistants, ALLIED Health, interns/students) login in OSCAR and opening Landing Page protocol.

• Landing page is opened

• From the landing page top navigation bar user picks desired link

• From the shortcut icons user activates desired icon

• From the left-side Landing Page navigation panel user select patient and fill out information during current (today’s) appointment

      B. Minimized to show clickable icons (clicking icon would open corresponding patient into tabbed environment)

      C. List can be completely hidden

      If patients cancel or do not show (leave daily appointment list) the appointment/patient would be dropped-off list. Receptionist is updating status to No Show and patient is automatically removed from today’s appointments list.

      CaseLoad

      • Caseload combines leading clinical and clerical indicators in a sortable display. It provides an easy to use tool to perform complex analysis against ones patient roster. Caseload is a report that is particularly good at finding those patients who have not been seen and yet need follow-up.Caseload is also a valuable tool when dealing with non-schedule driven patient interactions.

        More

      When clicking on the patient from the patient’s list under Appointments tab of dashboard, user is presented with the Single Patient view.

      Appointment type assigned to appointment/patient determines the eChart view that opens by default when patient name selected from left-side menu

      Customized summary or specialist pages display when specific type of appointment is currently selected. All current aspects of the existing eChart function as-is within the landing page frame.

      If appointment “type” is set for a patient appoint, tab configuration can automatically adjust view based on that appointment type. E.g. 18 month well-baby visit type will automatically open well baby eForm. This can be over-ridden by Persona settings

      Single Patient view is still within landing page with an additional sub-navigation bar. General layout of the landing page remains same.
      
      

      1. Top navigation bar

      Selections from the Top Navigation Bar will display the appropriate list screen, regardless of patient selected from left-side menu. E.g. Selecting “Consultations” from that top navigation bar will display the Consultation List (all applicable patients in system)

      • Details: Is Redesigned version of Demographic Record

      • Summary: Is replacing eChart with all existing functionality

      • Trackers

      • My Oscar

      • Apps + dropdown list

      3.6 Pop-Up/Modal Screen

      Within the context of a selected patient (when a patient’s name/appointment is selected from the left-side patient list) a need for the ability to view multiple tabs/screens at once remains, as with the existing Oscar 12 system. This need is required for 2 purposes: viewing 2 patients eChart information simultaneously, and viewing multiple function tabs from the Patient Navigation menu simultaneously.

      A few Use Cases where this functionality would be necessary include fertility specialist use, appointments where both a young child and parent are present, clinical review to find/diagnose patient issues based on similar patient history and group appointments.

      The following rules and functionality requirements define the needs for the pop up/modal screen needs within Oscar 14. These rules do not apply to the functionality to pop-out non-patient context aspects of Oscar 14 (inbox, administration panel, etc.)

      Rules:

      • A global system enable/disable for the pop up function

      • Any tab from the Patient Navigation menu can be popped-out as a modal screen

      • Clicking the open tab from the Patient Navigation menu will pop the screen out into a modal

      • Any screen that is open (i.e. multiple modals opened) is writable and savable independently from other modal screens

      Functionality:

      • Once popped up, the tab within the main screen frame would appear blank until the modal was “returned” to the frame i.e. popped back in

      • If the Pop-up of functionality is disabled no tabs from the Patient Navigation menu can be popped up as a modal. This function would be set on a clinic-wide basis, not a user basis

      • Once the tab is open within the context of the main screen, clicking the tab again will convert that tab into a modal screen. In this case the main display area will then appear blank

      • Users cannot open the same tab for the same patient in multiple modal screens. Also once the Patient Summary tab is opened into a modal for patient “x”, another Patient Summary tab for patient “x” cannot be launched. But the Patient Summary tab for patient “y” can be opened as a modal simultaneously

      • Warning message to users when attempting to close a modal with unsaved data entered

      • Information/formatting mirroring the Patient Information bar appears at the top of each modal screen

      4 Conditions/Assumptions

      4.1 Assumptions

      • Users login have been established within the system

      • List of medical specialists and medical clinics is already inputted into system as seed data

      • Residents are inputted into system

      4.2 Successful End Condition

      • Based on user preferences, main page is presented on the screen after successful login.

      • All navigation pars and panels are working as designed

      • Search boxes are filtering records based on user input.

      • All shortcuts presented as multiple icons are working as designed.

      • User can change layout of the landing page based on user’s settings.

      • After data manipulation (re-assigning appointment status, scheduling appointment etc) all edited data is immediately presented on the landing page.

      4.3 Failed End Condition

      For a few reasons consultation request might not have an option to be submitted.

      • Application Server is down, application doesn’t respond

      • Slow performance, application doesn’t respond

      • Some OSCAR modules are down, so user can not be redirected to the certain screens form the landing page

      4.4 Preconditions

      To log into Landing page with the right credentials.

      • If User is not entering proper credentials (user name / password) then Account is temporary suspended after a few attempts. In this case user has to contact OSCAR Administrator

      OSCAR server or OSCAR database is up and running.

      • In a case of sudden interruption of the connection to the OSCAR server of database, user can experience “frozen” interface of grayed out buttons of fields. In this case user has to wait until connection to the server is re-established. Then user has to verify if the record is saved (to avoid duplicate records). If record is no saved – then redo the whole record. If record is saved partially – then to add or edit information.
