More Information

Edit Workflows - Use the Workflows editor to create and edit your workflows, the series of actions that you want to initiate whenever an event occurs in Edge. See "Set Up Workflows" for details.

Status Change Trigger - Use the Workflow field of the Status editor to assign a workflow to trigger whenever you change a patient status to a specific description. See "Set Up Status List" for details.

Appliance Triggers - The appliance workflow you assign in the Trigger editor is not specific to an appliance type: It will function whenever any appliance is flagged as "received". However, you can use the Appliance editor to assign workflows to activate whenever you send and / or receive a specific appliance type for a patient. See "Set Up Appliance & Destination Lists" for details.

Appointment Triggers - The appointment workflows you assign in the Trigger editor are not procedure-specific: They will function whenever the trigger occurs for any appointment. However, you can use the Procedure editor to assign workflows that will work only when the trigger occurs for a specific procedure. (See "Set Up Procedure List" for details.)
