How Do I Create An RTG?                                                                                        Updated 3/8/2006

 

 

RTG (Ready To Go) documents are created, edited, and finalized on web pages running on the ICA server.

 

Where Do I Create An RTG?

 

1.     Log on to the ICA server

2.     Double-click the VMC Programs link on the VMC Desktop

3.     Click the VTH Patient Information Link

4.     Enter a case number or other search criteria and press Search

5.     Click the appropriate Invoice link

6.     Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the appropriate RTG link.

 

If you are on the Patient Information – Invoice Details web page and do not find links at the bottom of the page to Create, Forward and Finalize RTG’s it is because you are not on the ICA server.

 

The first time the top RTG link is accessed, a form is presented with pull-downs for various information.  These should be used wherever possible.  Various text fields are also presented. 

 

Once the Create Document button is pressed any subsequent edits can be performed using Word by clicking the Word icon (the blue “W”) on the top toolbar.

 

After editing and saving the document in Word, exit and click the “Back” button to return to the Invoice Details web page.  The changes will not immediately appear on the document immediately after exiting Word until the “Refresh” button is clicked.

 

The “Forward to Clinician” link can be used to notify the clinician the document is ready to be finalized.  Once this link has been accessed the clinician will see the RTG on a list of un-finalized documents under their control.

 

Clinicians use the “Finalize” link to indicate that the document is final.  Once this link has been accessed the document will appear on the Patient Information – Invoice Details web page as a read-only link.

 

Note that there can be multiple Operative Reports per invoice.
