Levey-Jennings Tasks
The RALS™ SYSTEM provides the ability to manage Levey-Jennings tasks. Levey-Jennings tasks can be executed manually or automatically.
Levey-Jennings records can be generated through tasks by specifying Levey-Jennings charting criteria. Levey-Jennings records are automatically saved at the time of generation.
Levey-Jennings Task Execution
Levey-Jennings records are limited by Levey-Jennings task’s institution. In other words, Levey-Jennings records are only generated for results from devices which are assigned to locations within the institution selected for a task. When executing a Levey-Jennings task manually, the user will be prompted with the following:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Levey-Jennings Date Range | User will be prompted to select start date and end date as the input for the Levey-Jennings record(s) that are generated |
| Time Zone | Time zone the Levey-Jennings chart is based on; only displayed if multiple time zone support is enabled |
Institution Access
A Levey-Jennings task’s institution identity is defined by user selection when the task is created. The assigned institution cannot be changed later.
Fields
Levey-Jennings task fields are located in the following places in the RALS™ SYSTEM:
