IMPORTANT NOTE

Fastcare requires mandatory fields to maintain compliance with regulation F686 for pressure ulcers.

However, the number of mandatory fields can be reduced by a Wound Care Provider Administrator. This feature is not available to most users, and must be specially requested by the facility and approved by your Wound Care Provider.


Mandatory fields might be reduced in these situations:

  • The facility is new and requests a training period.
  • The facility is emailing or faxing Wound Evals for data entry; data entry personnel cannot invent data that is not available to them.
  • The facility has expressed in writing that it is not concerned about F686 compliance.


REDUCING MANDATORY FIELDS (ADMIN-LEVEL ONLY)

  1. Login to Fastcare with Administrative privileges. This feature does not appear to non-administrative users.
  2. Tap the Facility DataSet button.
  3. Search for the Facility or tap Search for a list of all facilities.
  4. Tap on the facility name to toggle the color to yellow or green. GREEN means ALL mandatory fields; YELLOW changes that facility to minimal mandatory fields. (Certain fields are required for identification.)
