4. Select an Unassigned drawer. The selected drawer will highlight in blue and the center prompt area will change, giving you
the choice of assigning this drawer to a patient, or as a storage drawer.
5. Click the Patient button. The selected drawer will open slightly on the physical drawer system and the screen will change
to show the drawer is unlocked, with the auto close relock timer counting down. If no further action is taken at this stage,
the drawer will relock when the timer reaches zero.
6. Pull open the drawer and remove from the cassette completely if you prefer. If HL7 is enabled, the screen will now display
a list of patients within the hospital that can be selected and assigned to the drawer.
o
By default, the list shows only patients from the current user’s department.
o
The list may be filtered using the drop-down menu to include patients from all departments, or patients from a
different department.
o
The list may be searched using the text box.
o
If the patient is not found in the list or an HL7 feed is not enabled, a drawer may be manually labelled using the
button in the top right. Note that when using this option, drawers do not display any information other than the label
you enter, and it will not be possible to open the drawer using patient wristband scanning, since there will not be a
wristband bar code associated with the drawer.
