eRAM: Clinical Workspace

Overview

The Clinical (CLN) workspace is the electronic file folder for the collection of electronic medical records and tracking of all animal interactions for a given animal/cage. As information is entered, data and details are populated on the Clinical workspace. The Clinical provides a central place

  • Where all the Animal Events (AEVs) for a given animal/cage can be viewed and printed
  • To schedule and record various interactions/events with an animal/cage
  • To store and maintain a list of problems by Veterinary Staff
  • To store and maintain non-animal event documents.

Notes on Barcodes

Per business process, the CLN number should be written on the physical Cage Card.  Over time this CLN # should remain static, while the underlying barcode could change. Thus, it is possible that different barcode numbers may be identified on various Animal Events contained in the Clinical.

Navigation

  • Individuals who have the ATR/EMR Staff role for Veterinary staff (Technicians, Residents, Faculty), Viewer, Husbandry staff, and EMR Training Core staff can view a Clinical. 
  • A Clinical can be accessed from the ATR/EMR Staff home workspace or the EMR Training Core home workspace, on Open CLNs and All CLNs tabs, or from wherever there is a CLN ID link.

Tip You may need to scroll down to see all the activities and buttons, and scroll right to see all the tabs and fields on your screen.

Note Tabs, activities, and buttons that display depend on your Role and the State of the Clinical.
