    • As a case manager, create a case for an affected employee to identify and follow up with other employees who might have come in contact with the affected employee.

    Vorbereitungen

    Role required: sn_imt_tracing.case_manager

    Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

    Wichtig:
    There can be only one active case for an affected employee. You can create a new case for the same employee only if the active case is closed or cancelled.

    If the Emergency Self Report application is installed and an employee is reported being in quarantine through the self-reporting option, the system automatically creates a case. If an active case exists for the employee at the time of reporting, a work note is added to that case.

    Prozedur

    1. Navigate to All > Contact Tracing > Case Management > Create New Case.
    2. On the form, fill in the fields.
      Tabelle : 1. Case form
      Field Description
      Reported person Name of the affected employee.
      Location Location of the affected employee.
      Date reported The date on which the person was reported to be affected.
      Reported source Source from which the employee was reported to be affected, such as through health screening, self-reporting, or location.
      Case manager User assigned to work on the case.
      Users who have the sn_imt_tracing.case_manager role are listed.
      Hinweis:
      If a case was automatically created when the employee self-reported as being in quarantine, the case manager field is empty. Case managers can assign the case to themselves or to any other case manager. Only the assigned case manager can work on the case.

      Case status state

      		 Current state of the case.
      Case start date The date on which the case is created.

      A confidential case can be accessed only by the case manager and users added in the Watch list field.
    3. Click Submit.

    Ergebnisse

    A case for the affected employee is created. If notifications are enabled, the case manager assigned to the case is notified via email.

    An exposed contact record is created for the reported person with the default health status set to Infected.

    The Exposed contacts visualization section appears.

    The following related lists appear in the case:
    • Diagnostics Requests: Used to request a diagnostic report to identify all impacted employees.
    • Exposed Contacts: Potentially exposed contacts to follow up with about their health status.
    • Case Tasks: The tasks created for each potentially exposed contact to track the follow-up.
    • Notes: Notes containing the names of individuals submitted in the daily contact logs by the affected employee during the period specified for the case. If the end date is not specified in the case, all daily log notes submitted by the affected employee after the case start date are listed.

    Nächste Maßnahme

    Run the diagnostic request to identify all potentially exposed employees and add them to the case for follow-ups.

    You can also add potentially exposed contacts to the case manually from the Exposed Contacts related list.

    If you have the Safe Workplace Dashboard application installed, you can view a trend of active cases and potentially exposed contacts over a given time period for a campus or location on the dashboard.
