Using Templates within Coordination
Templates allow you to standardize vendor requests for common surgeon and procedure combinations.
There are two types of templates available.
Standard Templates
A Standard Template prefills vendor and support information when applied to a case. You must manually select and apply the template when adding a vendor.
This option is best when:
- Vendor support is repeatable but varies for that surgeon and procedure combination
- You want suggested defaults
- You prefer to review before assigning
Auto-Assign Templates
An Auto-Assign Template automatically creates vendor requests when a case matches the defined surgeon and procedure criteria.
This option is best when:
- Vendor involvement is consistent for that surgeon and procedure combination
- You want automation to reduce manual steps
You can activate or deactivate Auto-Assign templates at any time from the Template Manager.
Creating Templates
You can create templates from the Template Manager by selecting "Create New Template" and then following the necessary steps to completion.
Or, you can create a template from an existing assigned request for a case by selecting "Save as a Template".
