Nurse availability diary is directly accessed from anywhere in AvaPA. It is automatically displayed when making a phone call.
The window displays current availability for any selected date. Availability or absence can be updated by simply checking the box for the appropriate shift. Entire days can be marked as available with one selection.
If the window is opened whilst a particular requirement or booking is selected then text for an email or text message is automatically generated.
As this window is often used during or prior to a telephone conversation it is useful to have the following:
-
Availability for yesterday, today and tomorrow to avoid calls during sleep periods or sensitive situations
-
Nurse Notes available for updating,
-
Any outstanding or soon to be required certification or renewal information
-
Any outstanding shifts that the Nurse may be interested in
-
Alternate contact numbers
-
Current accrued leave (hours and value)
