How to Add a Delegate
Delegates are able to enter and edit patient data on your behalf. They have access to your patient records and can update information under your name. The delegate needs to have their own Amplitude account to be able to do this, if not please contact Amplitude Customer Support directly to request a delegate account be set up. Please note: we need written confirmation from the consultant before creating the delegate account.
First click the Settings button.
Click the Delegates Button.
Start typing the name of the delegate into the search bar and select them from the list. If they do not appear please contact Amplitude Customer Support.
Your delegate has now been added.
On this screen you can also set an expiry date and delete any delegates.
How to Set Up Form Defaults
Having default forms can save time especially if you often perform the same procedure. If you create a form default you will always have the option to choose a blank form instead, you can also go back and edit the default when required.
Click the Settings button.
Select the pathway you would like to create a default for.
Select the form you would like to create a default for.
Click ‘Add a New Default‘.
Name the default something meaningful to you, then click Proceed.
Go through the form and pre-answer each question, these will be the defaults. When you have completed the form click Save.
This form can be edited by clicking the default’s name and you will always have the option of a blank form instead.
Choosing Your Pathways
In order to put your patients on pathways you will first need to turn on the pathways you require. This is a one time setup which may already be done for you in Enterprise systems.
Click the Setting button.
Use the drop-down list, search or scroll to find the pathways you require. Turn each pathway on by toggling OFF to ON.
You have the ability to select one pathway as a Default. This should be your most commonly used pathway and will appear at the top of the list when setting up a new patient.
How to Set up Custom Lists
To complete procedure forms, Custom Lists first need to be set up. This is a one time setup which may already be done for you in Enterprise systems.
Click the Settings button.
Click the ‘Custom Lists‘ button.
Click the items you would like to add to your profile, for example Hospital.
In most cases Consultant Surgeon, Hospital and Funders are mandatory procedure form fields.
Search for the hospital you require and select it from the list.
If the hospital you require does not appear, please contact Amplitude Customer Support.
Repeat these steps for each option.
You can remove items by clicking the trash icon.
How to Use the Data Exchange
Only for pathway owners using a pro one™ or Enterprise system.
You will need to be set up as a user on both the source and destination sites with identical custom lists. These steps will need to be done only by consultants, delegates will not be able to do this.
Click the Settings cog on your pro one or Enterprise system.
Click Sync.
Click Authenticate for the site you would like to sync to. If you would like to sync to more than one site, please repeat this process for each site.
You will then be asked to agree to the terms of the data exchange.
Enter your login credentials for the destination site.
Click Log in.
Switch on the pathways you would like to sync to that site.
The scheduler will now sync these pathways at the allotted time.
To check your data transfers click Sync History. Amplitude recommends checking the list regularly to make sure all data sync’s and patients are sending successfully.
You can choose the site and pathway to see the history of the sync task. Patients that fail to send appear in the column. Click ‘Show Records‘ to see who and why they failed to send. If you see an error with the data exchange please contact Amplitude Customer Support.
