Open the homepage.
- Toolbar : Usually positioned at the page’s top, the toolbar offers rapid access to frequently used operations. All toolbar buttons have an icon and a label. The icon graphically signifies the button’s function, simplifying the user’s understanding of the action triggered by clicking the button. When the page is minimised, the button label is concealed, but icons remain visible at all times.
- Interactive space : The central feature of the majority of pages, with only a handful of pages lacking this key component. It serves as a dynamic platform where users interact with a variety of functions specific to each page. Depending on the page, it might include elements such as tables, forms, views, buttons, and data displays. This adaptable and user-focused area is engineered to enable smooth interaction, positioning it as the core of the user’s engagement with any page that has this section.
- Table : Each OMP page features a table section and a blue ribbon section equipped with filtering tools. These tools, which could be a search input or search filters, are located in the blue ribbon section of the OMP. The table’s purpose is to list objects based on the blue ribbon filters.
If no filters are applied in the blue ribbon, the default setting displays all objects in the database in the table. However, a setting can be adjusted so that an empty blue ribbon results in an empty table. For more details on this setting, click here.
With each keypress or change in the search input, the table adjusts to list only the objects that align with the blue ribbon filters. Depending on the OMP type, the system attempts to match certain properties for each object to determine which ones remain in the table. The properties searched for vary by object type and typically include the object’s name and number. Other objects may also match additional properties (e.g., in the Patients OMP, the blue ribbon filter also considers medical aid membership numbers).
At any given time, one object in the table may be highlighted in blue and bolded to indicate focus. - Form :
Blue ribbon : Situated at the upper part of the page, directly beneath the toolbar. It is characterized by its blue background and extends across the entire width of the page. On the Consultation page, the Blue ribbon includes buttons that switch the view displayed in the Interactive space section. It also accommodates a flag switch that can make the consultation stand out in the homepage. For more details on a setting that determines whether or not the flag switch is displayed in the Blue ribbon, please click here. The blue ribbon incorporates various types of inputs:
If your system is set up to use a single practice number (AHFOZ number), the Payments page will open. However, if your system is configured to use multiple practice numbers (AHFOZ numbers), the Practice Number Selection page will appear instead.
In this page, you will need to enter a valid practice number (AHFOZ number) and then click the Next toolbar button. If the practice number entered is valid, the Practice Number Selection page will close. If the number is not valid, the input field will reset, allowing you to try entering the practice number again. Once the correct practice number has been entered, the Payments page will open.
On the Diagnosis page, the first input you will encounter is for the diagnosis stage. Please choose one of the following :
- Primary
- Secondary
- Co-morbidity
- Complicated
On the Diagnosis page, the second input is the diagnosis code/description filter input. Type a code or a description to filter through the World Health Organisation's ICD-10 diagnoses.
N.B. The filter only starts to display a dropdown after the third character is typed into the filter input. i.e. In searching for Cholera as a diagnosis, the dropdown will only be displayed after you have typed the C, the H and the O. Before those initial 3 characters no dropdown list will be shown.
N.B. Each time you press a key on your keyboard, the diagnoses dropdown list is refined according to the search phrase entered in the code/description filter. Given the extensive number of diagnoses in the system, you may experience a slight delay in your computer’s response as it processes the filter.
Select a diagnosis from the dropdown by :
- Clicking "Enter" keyboard button to select the top-most diagnosis on the dropdown.
- Use the mouse to select any visible diagnosis from the dropdown.
Add footer button : Pressing this button adds the currently chosen diagnosis to the list and resets the page inputs, preparing them for the selection of an additional diagnosis. This button facilitates the selection of multiple diagnoses.
Next footer button : Once a minimum of one diagnosis has been chosen, the Next footer button will illuminate in green. To save the chosen diagnoses to the database, please click on the green Next footer button.
This action prompts a dialogue box to appear, asking for confirmation on whether you truly wish to
Text inputs : These rely on keyboard typing to filter the table. By default, the search action is initiated by typing while the input is focused. However, a setting exists to disable keypress searching, allowing searches only when the enter key is pressed. For more details on this keypress search disabling setting in an OMP, click here. Select inputs : These are activated by clicking the input, revealing a fixed set of options. The value for this input is chosen by clicking the desired option from the visible list. Hybrid inputs : These inputs utilize both typing and selecting. Typing in these inputs filters the dropdown options. Once the desired dropdown option is located, the value for that input is selected by choosing one of the dropdowns. This selection is finalized by either pressing enter on the keyboard or using the mouse to click.
