The intent for testing is to validate the technical pieces for the project. This includes access, interfaces, and integrations listed below.
Prerequisites for Testing
- SnS to be made available on the workstation
- Barcode Scanner attached to the workstation
- A Transmitter or Bedside Monitor
- A Test Patient ID
- A Simulator
- Caregiver
- Monitor Technician
- Identify at least 2 tele boxes and one bedside monitor before testing.
- Confirm the device is setup in XprezzNet and in SNS.
Admitting Patient
- Log into SafeNSound
- Select the Bedside Module located in the bottom right corner
- Select the Barcode icon to begin Scanning the Device
- Confirm the device shows a green check mark along the right side. This confirms the device is available for use.
- Select the Barcode icon to begin Scanning the Patient ID Band
- Confirm the test Patient information shows accurately, along with a green check mark.
- Confirm the Bed field is populated, and correct
- This field is auto populated from the ADT stream. This can also be populated for units such as ED, ICU, etc. where a Bedside Monitor is not mobile. We can assign each of those to a specific room, auto populating this field regardless of an ADT message including the room.
- Optionally, select a Monitoring Type
- Primarily this function serves as a reminder to a Central Monitoring Room in regards to a specific patient type.
- Click 'Associate Device'
- Select the Barcode icon to begin Scanning the Device
Note: If the device you are assigning to a patient, is a telemetry transceiver or a bedside monitor in a location that is assisted by a Monitor Technician this will require the Monitor Tech testing user to interact and accept the notification.
Confirming Alarms, Vitals, Waveforms & Temporary Location
- Connect a simulator to the device
- Confirm vitals are populating into SNS
- Select the test Patient, select the Vitals tab
- Generate an alarm with the simulator
- Confirm alarm is populating int SNS within 30 seconds.
- Select the test Patient, select the Alarms tab
- Confirm waveforms are populating into SnS
- Select the test Patient, select the Waveforms Tab
- Documenting an event
- Select anywhere on that waveform
- Place a caliper anywhere on that event and Save
- Approving the saved event (Monitor Tech Access Required. Not possible from Mobile)
- Approving an event can happen in 3 different ways. Choose one:
- Select 'Approval All'
Messaging and Calling
- Select a patient.
- Confirm role is assigned as Primary Caregiver.
Test each of the following scenarios:
- Call and message caregiver from main desktop app as monitor tech.
- Call and message Monitor Tech from mobile app.
- Call and message other Caregiver user also using mobile app.
- Call and message from Android to iOS and iOS to Android, then from Android to Android and iOS to iOS.
Assigning Primary and Secondary Caregiver
- On my patient dashboard select a patient
- Under the overview tab select the plus sign that says assign underneath
- Select primary or secondary
Discharge Patient
- Select the Bedside Module located in the bottom right corner
- Select the Barcode icon to begin Scanning the Device
- Click 'Disassociate Device'
This will remove the patient from the associated device within the system.
Note: If the device you are dissociating from a patient, is a telemetry transceiver or a bedside monitor in a location that is assisted by a Monitor Technician this will require the Monitor Tech testing user to interact and accept the notification.
Validation via Testing
- Confirming SnS has been installed and is accessible to staff
- Confirms AD/LDAP functionality
- Confirms device list, and connectivity is functional
- Confirms ADT feed is functional and accurate to the patient ID band
- Confirms XprezzNet connectivity is accurate
- Confirms document integration connection is correct
