2 Getting Started 

2.1 Your Implementation of Excelicare  

The Excelicare product allows users to 'explore' clinical information and provides a composite view of the patient's clinical summary. Some of the display features contained within Excelicare may have been configured at implementation to match your local requirements.

 

This manual contains screen snapshots of the standard implementation so there may be some subtle differences between what is shown in the manual and how the screens are presented to you.

 

Please Note: that some of the icons and buttons described in that section may not be configured as enabled for your implementation.

 

2.2 Confidentiality 

Security of data and patient confidentiality are of paramount importance when developing a patient database. The system is password protected and users are required to provide a login name and password. There may also be the requirement depending on setup of verifying a Security Image in order to access the system.

·         Desktop Authenticators - If the user does not use mobile devices then the desktop application, WinAuth, must be installed.  

  

 

Depending on your system settings you may be prompted to change your password the first time you log on to Excelicare.

If the Username name, password or answer to the security question you enter is invalid, you will be informed of the error and prompted to re-enter.

2.5 Active Sessions

 

In previous versions of Excelicare, it was possible to have the application open with multiple sessions simultaneously.  This has now been changed to only allow you to login once with having only one session active.

 

However, care should be taken with this as it may cause issues when saving data of another active session and could result in some data not being saved.

 

You should ensure that you save data as required and pay attention to situations where you could be overwriting data which has not yet been saved, with data from another session.


If you already have an active session open, you will see the following message when opening another session and logging in:

The message window will display the following message:


‘You are already logged into Excelicare in other active session. Do you wish to end the active session?’

When you select OK, any unsaved data in the other active session will be lost.

 

You should only click on this button to end the previous session, and if the data has been saved from that session first.  For example, if you have started a clinical note and not saved it and then opened another session and clicked ‘OK’ to end your active session, the clinical note you have entered will not be saved.

 

Cancel Login:
This will cancel the login and refresh the screen waiting on Login details to be entered.
