If you haven't already, log in to the POE Queue Application, type your signing key, and then click OK (ENTER or ALT+O).
If you are authorized for one or more POE queues or Queue Authorizations as well as the Queue Builder, select Queue Builder from the list when prompted:
You will not be prompted if you are authorized only for the builder.
Double-click Queue Builder.
Click Queue Builder, then click OK.
Press TAB to access the list; press the up/down arrows to highlight Queue Builder, then press ENTER or ALT+O.
From the drop-down list in the upper left, select an existing queue to edit, or click <New Queue> to create another.
Queue Name—Type in this field to set the name for a new queue or to change the name of an existing queue. End the name with "Q"—for example, Echo Lab Q. This is the text that displays in the list of queues users see.
Set the length of time records remain on the queue:
Keep New—Type the number, then select minutes, hours, or days from the drop-down list. This is the length of time that records remain on the queue if they are not processed. Orders that have not been processed before a patient has been discharged drop off the queue automatically.
Keep Done—Type the number, then select minutes, hours, or days from the drop-down list. This is the length of time that records remain on the queue after they have been processed.
Add, edit, or delete columns—vertical columns define the parameters of the records that end users requested.
Add a column by clicking New (ALT+N).
Change a column by clicking its name in the Columns list, then clicking Edit (ALT+E).
Remove a column by clicking its name in the Columns list, then clicking Delete (ALT+D). Click Delete (beneath Column Name field) to verify the removal.
Set column properties—Define how a column appears and functions on the list.
Set the label by typing in the Column Name field. Text will wrap to another line of it does not fit in the designated width of the column.
Set placement of a column—items in the Columns list from top to bottom display in the same record, left to right, in the queue. Move a column up in the list to move it left in the queue, and down to move it right. Click the name in the columns list to select it, then click 5 or 6 to move it.
Set filtering by clicking to check (allow) or uncheck (do not allow). Filtering allows users to limit the records displayed by selecting a particular type of parameter. For example, users might filter a list to limit the records to those from a particular date, or exams of a particular type. Filtering does not process items in the queue—records that are hidden by filtering will display again if the filter is removed or the queue is refreshed manually or automatically.
Set the width by percentage (10% default)—the portion of the list the column takes up—by typing a number from 1 to 100 in the Width % field. You may have to adjust widths once you have listed all columns.
Verify column properties—beneath the Column Name field, click Add (for new) and Update (for edits).
Check the results—the basic appearance of the queue is displayed in the Preview portion of the window.
A drop-down list is displayed above each column with filtering allowed.
Set the width of columns—Long column labels show only the first line; two lines appear in the queue itself. Words will be cut off in the actual queue if the column is not wide enough to display every word in two (2) lines. As a rule of thumb, half the width of the text must display in the preview for all of it to appear in the actual queue. Increase or decrease the width of a column by selecting it and repeating the previous steps.
Set sorting—To start, records in a queue are organized top to bottom by the parameter you select. When working with a queue, users can sort by other parameters if needed. Orders can be sorted after they are filtered.
Click to select one of the existing columns from the Default Sort Column drop-down list.
Click to select Ascending or Descending from the Sort order drop-down list.
Print Button Label—Type the text to display, Print Order or Print Requisition. Add "(s)"—the plural in parentheses—if multi-row selection is checked. (Requisitions are available for certain record types.) This prints the entire record or requisition for selected records. Users can generate a paper copy of the list as displayed with a separate Print List button.
Print list label—Users can generate a paper copy of the list as displayed. Type a description to print as the heading for this list.
IS Analyst Owner— Select a name from the drop-down list.
Developer— Select the name of the developer assigned by the development team from the drop-down list. The developer is responsible for linking the queue to the actual records generated in Order Entry.
On receiving a request for a queue and documenting the users requirements, add an issue to TCS to notify the development team that a new queue is in progress. Once the queue has been saved in the Queue Builder, a developer can be assigned.
Business Owner—Department or services administrator who requested the queue and designated its form and function.
