Creating and managing pull lists
As a medical records manager, you can create, manage, and assign pull lists.

A pull list is a list of case note volumes that need to go from one location to another. For example, you might have a pull list that contains all the loan requests from the Medical Records Library to Ward 15. A medical records manager assigns a pull list to a medical records clerk. The medical records clerk finds the case note volumes on that pull list and takes the volumes to the location that requested them.

From Medical Records > Manage Case Notes > Pull Lists > Manage Pull Lists, you can create and assign pull lists.
Order |
Shows the order of the pull lists. When a loan request is made, Nervecentre places the loan request in the matching pull list. If a loan request matches multiple pull lists, then Nervecentre places the loan request in the pull list with lower number. For example, the loan request is going from a ward to the library, so Nervecentre places the request in pull list called 'Wards to Library'. |
