Fully integrated with VistA & Facility's interanet
The application is interfaced with VistA, with use of the existing logins. All personnel would use their existing VistA access codes. List of personnel including the nurses on duty is available for the selection during inspection, to identify the nurse who actually witnessed the inspection event. The application provides instant access to all facility internet web pages. Real time information regarding inspection and correction acknowledgement is sent to all stake holders via outlook.


Security of the data
Data remains fully secure on servers located inside the VA facility, behind the facility firewalls.


Inspection criteria
The application is configured for the thirty two currently approved inspection criteria. It also has the ability to add new criteria or amend the current criteria.


Iinspection system made error proof
The fields that require mandatory documentation have been made compulsory. An inspector cannot proceed without filling the mandatory inspection data like Refrigerator temperature, Crash Cart #, Lock #, Expiration-Date etc. The system automatically enters "NO" to indicate an outlier status when, the refrigerator temperature is NOT between 38 and 46 degrees Fahrenheit or the date on the crash cart has expired.


Highly visible smart icons
A red icon is displayed next to "performed Inspection” if an outlier was identified during the inspection. After the corrector has documented the correction and made a note in the comment area this red icon turns green. As soon as the nurse acknowledges the inspection an “Okay” icon appears next to the inspection. A red flag icon is displayed for overdue inspections if there are any.


Comprehensive reports
Reports showing trends of results by each criterion or by each ward are provided.
