Configuring Demand Manager Facility Settings

Demand Manager is an optional Staff Manager application that measures, predicts, and tracks patient demand for services. It provides this data so that you can make better resource deployment decisions, especially when it comes to staffing.

Before you can configure the Demand Manager facility settings, you must be assigned to a security group with the correct Demand Configuration permissions.

• Users assigned Full Demand Configuration permission can configure Demand Manager. They are also allowed to save and publish configuration data.
• Users assigned Read permission can view Demand Manager configuration data but cannot change it.
• Users assigned None permission do not see the configuration page in Clairvia Web.

Managers assign security groups and permissions in Staff Manager Administrator.

Complete the following steps to configure Facilities Settings:

1. From the Configure menu, select Demand Manager > Facility Settings. This opens the Facility Settings page.
2. If your organization has multiple facilities, select a facility from the Facilities menu on the right side of the page title bar. Otherwise, continue with the next step.
3. Complete the settings on each of the five Facility Settings tabs:
   1. Configure the settings on the Patient Progress Manager tab to set whether to show Length of Stay (LOS) alerts, what triggers alerts, and how Demand Manager labels certain care management functions.
   2. Configure the settings on the Patient and Caregiver Identifiers tab to set how Demand Manager displays names, genders, and what data is used to identify patients.
   3. Configure the settings on the Utilization tab to set the ranges Demand Manager uses to measure percent utilization.
   4. If your organization uses CareAware iBus, you can configure the settings on the iBus tab to establish connections between Demand Manager and the CareAware iBus and to set the type of information that Demand Manager sends to or receives from the iBus.
   5. If your organization uses CareAware iBus and Outcomes-Driven Acuity, you can use the Clinical Events Mapping tab to map the connections needed for Outcomes-Driven Acuity to make acuity data available for display in Cerner Millennium solutions such as CareAware Patient Flow and CareAware CareView.
4. Click Save to save your changes to your selected facility or click Save to All Facilities to save your changes to all facilities in your organization. If your organization only has one facility, you can click either button.
