Connecticut & Kansas State Forms Back to What's New

RiskWatch® - (September, 2008)

Continuing in our efforts to streamline your work flow and improve efficiency, we are pleased to announce that the Connecticut and Kansas state reports have been added to the RiskWatch® website and are available to any facility in the states of Connecticut or Kansas as appropriate.  Below are screen shots of both of the full reports as they appear on the site:

The Connecticut Report:

The Kansas Report:

These reports can be accessed by any RiskWatch® user with "Investigate" or "Review" permissions and are available at the facility level only.  Only facilities in the states of Connecticut or Kansas have access to them.

To see the report for your state, log in to RiskWatch® and make sure that you are at the facility level.  You can check this by looking at the Blue Banner at the top of the page.  If you are not at the facility level, click the "down" arrow to the right of the drop down box, highlight the facility you wish to view, and click on it to select it. 

Next, go to the gold navigation menu to the left of the page and click either the "Investigate" or "Review" links depending on what stage of the process the occurrence is in.  When you have opened one of these pages, you will see the link, "File w/ St." under the heading, "Action."  A similar page will open when you access the report from the "Review" menu.  Click the link to open the appropriate state report.  Please see below: 

 

These reports will have some fields automatically completed for you.  This information is pulled from the data that has been previously recorded when the occurrence was initially entered into RiskWatch®:

To complete the form, simply click into the report and begin entering the required information using the checkboxes and text boxes supplied.  If you make a mistake while completing the report, highlight your text or backspace to make your correction.  Additionally, if you find there is a mistake in any of the fields which were automatically filled in, or you want to change any of the information in those fields, you can make changes in the same manner.

If you need to leave your report before you have finished it, you can click the gray "Save" button found at the bottom and the top of the report.  This also allows you to go back and edit the report at a later time if you desire.  Please note that there is also an auto save feature which will save your report after ten minutes. 

Additional features located in the same areas as the "Save" button include, "Reset" which reinserts the initial data in the form.  It does not erase the entire form and will also give you a prompt before resetting the form.

When you have completed your state report and are ready to print it for submission to the state, click the "Submit Report (to print)" button to open a new page which will generate a printer friendly version of the form.  When you click the "Submit" button, this also saves a copy of the report. 

At the bottom of the print friendly version of the report, you will now see another set of buttons which give you further options regarding the submission of the report.  If, after review, the report is how you want it, click the gray "Print" button.  This will print out a hard copy of the report for you. 

If you decide that you want to make some revisions to the report, click the "Edit Report" button and you can change the report while keeping it in the submitted state.  And finally, if you decide not to submit the report at all, click the "Withdraw from Submission" button.  This sets the form as no longer submitted in the system and will take you back to the edit form page.

Additionally, you will see some housekeeping details included at the bottom of the report such as date and time the report was created, when it was last updated, and date and time that the report was submitted to the state:

This report will be saved on your site along with the occurrence.  Any time a change is made to the report, this will be noted in the Occurrence Journal just as other changes are when made to an occurrence report.  To view the report at a later time, you can click the link from the Investigate page as shown previously, or you can drill through the link from the "Significant Occurrences" on the Home Page.

We believe that adding features such as the ability to complete the state reports from your website will help streamline your processes and improve efficiency by having many of the tools you need available in a centralized location.  If you are interested in adding other similar features to your website, please don't hesitate to contact us as we are more than happy to work with you to accommodate your requests.
