Accountability (General Information)  (top)

Overview:
The mPro3 - Medical & Maintenance Management system provides you several reports to help manage various aspects of accountability, including:
Employee Accountability, Inspection Quality Assurance, Repair Quality Assurance, Repair Turnaround, and Equipment Recalls (a.k.a. Repeat Repair).

Menu Options Available:
This section of the manual provides a high level view, see the actual report section for details.

EMPLOYEE ACCOUNTABILITY REPORT:
This report is one tool that can be used to help evaluate employee performance and record keeping.

This report creates a one page summary of closed work orders by employee, and trade for time charged, percent (%) of time, Standard Time, and Standard/Charged Time Variance for categories: PM's, Incomplete PM's, Incoming Inspections, Equipment repairs, Area repairs, Administrative support, etc. It includes comparative information for the last several months.

Note: The comparative information for the last several months is explained as follows:
The average work orders, hours and % of time is always a monthly average using data up to 1 year back. If less data is available (e.g., a new employee) then we take whatever data is available and average accordingly.
This is a monthly average.

The detail option prints specifics of work orders completed, followed by the summary reports. (See section: Employee Accountability Report)

Notes: Information on this report comes from the service history and employee files. All figures are based on QA category codes. Inactive employees and employees with a trade level greater than 97 are excluded.

INSPECTION QUALITY ASSURANCE REPORT:
This report summarizes Inspection work orders completed and lists: average inspection time, # of completed inspections, # unable to locate, # of units not available, # of staff not available, and # of failed & corrected for the specified criteria. You can also run this report for hours.

REPAIR QUALITY ASSURANCE REPORT:
This report summarizes Repair work orders completed and lists: average repair time, # of equipment repairs, # of area repairs, # of no problem found, # of staff support, # of operator related, and # of administrative & training for the specified criteria. You can also print this report for hours.

    Automatic Notification Of Late Inspections and Repairs  (top)

    Overview:
    To ensure your important orders get prompt attention, you can specify 2 different Risks and 2 different Priorities, with their corresponding "lapse" time (the amount of time within which you expect the work to be completed).
    Note: All time lapses are in hours: common usage 48 hours or 720 hours (30 days)

    This feature is User defined which allows you to turn it on or off for each individual user.

    The data will appear upon a new login, on the user's 1st screen.

    Miscellaneous:
    In the user file you can also define:
  • Show your work orders past estimated completion date on login
  • Show All WO's past 5+ estimated completion date on Login

    Process Flow:
    1. To define Automatic Late Notification parameters:
      1. Path: Look Up Tables > Setup >
      2. On the Setup 1 Tab - Enter values in the Risk and/or Priority fields along with the Time Lapse values.

        Examples:
        The following would define - If a work order has the Risk of A, notify me after 1 hour on my log in screen
        Risk 1 A
        Time Lapse #1     1

        The following would define - If a work order has the Priority of 1, notify me after 2 hours on my log in screen
        Priority 1 1
        Time Lapse #1     2

    Blanket Work Orders  (top)

    Path:
    1. New WO in the quick links section
    2. Or use a work order that has been previously created
    Overview:
    When the 'Blanket Order' field (in the work order) is defined as '1', the work order is designated as a 'Blanket Work Order'.

    A blanket work order is one that stays "open" indefinitely; you clear the monthly time and costs associated with the order monthly. This saves you the time of re-opening a new work order each month, and allows you to track items with one easy to remember work order number. Blanket orders can be used both for repairs and inspections.

    If the completion of a repair will extend over several months and you wish to bill for the work completed each month, enter a 1 in this field. An example would be blanket repairs or rounds. You may also wish to add a project and assign that project number to this repair order to keep track of the total cost of this work.

    At the end of the month, you will run "Monthly work report" and completed work from this repair will show up. Then run selection "Clear monthly billings" on the Utility menu, to zero out the service time and dollar fields. Then when the new month starts, the service time and dollar amounts will not be double billed.

    A blanket order is really about billing. If you don't care about billing, then you don't need to be concerned with this. You can just keep the work order open indefinitely until the job is complete.

    Menu Options Available:
    Miscellaneous:
    Process Flow:
    1. Create a new work order --or-- use a current work order that has been designated to be used as a Blanket Work Order.
    2. Via 'Repair' quick link at the top of the screen, enter the order number > Click Find > Click the Plus Edit > In the Repair/Inspection orders screen define the "Blanket Order" field as 1.

    *This section is being revised for changes made to the software.*

    Browse/Locate
    Choosing the Find button brings forward the Browse/Locate window which allows you to browse and locate records in the database that meet specific criteria. The results will be displayed in a table mode (rows and columns).

    Find
    To view all records, simply click the Find button. To specify criteria for viewing see "Specify criteria", below.

    Count
    To find out how many records are in the database, the number will appear at the top of the screen once Find is clicked.

    Quit
    To exit a function - Click Black Menu in the Quick links section.
    To close a window - Click the Red X in the upper right hand corner of the screen
    To exit the program - Click Logout in the Quick links section.

    Ordered By
    To specify the order you would like the records displayed in the Select window, choose a field from the Ordered By drop-down

    Specify report criteria
    This option allows you to specify criteria for record viewing / selection.
    i.e., view only records with the TRADE = BIOMED, or EMPLOYEE = JOHN.

    Constructing criteria:
    1. Choose a field from the lists shown.
    If there are no fields shown and only keyword, you may leave the box empty and click find to view all records or put in a key word to get only those records containing the characters you entered.
    Otherwise, in the specified fields ,to narrow the search, input a starting range and ending range.

    2. Certain ranges contain drop-down lists with the records from that specific table and others have a starting and ending range box for you to fill in. Both ranges must be filled in if you want to narrow the search for that field.
    Example:
    (you want to get all records in the engineering department ("ENG")
    Set the starting range for Department to "ENG(Engineering)" and ending range to "ENG(Engineering "

    Example:
    (you want the records with Risk 5 and down (skipping records with Risk 1 - 4))
    set (actually type in) the starting range for Risk to "5" and the ending range to "___".
    Note: by putting underscores in the ending range, it will go to the last record of the end of the table.

    3. For date criteria, use MM/DD/YY format.
    Example:
    December 15, 1995 would be entered as 12/15/95.

    4. Some searches have a 2nd page that contains more fields but are less frequently used.

    Browse Selected Fields
    If desired to view a list of certain fields from a table, See Display Data in the help manual or once you have set your criteria and clicked find, up at the top is a link to the excel file. This file contains a list of more fields than shown on the browse screen. You may find what you are looking for by playing around with the excel file.

    Deleting Expressions
    To delete or reset the ranges, choose the Reset button.

    Create New Search Criteria
    Press Reset to reset the expression list and start anew.

    Choose Menu or click Back to exit the page.
    Example and notes:
    If you select criteria, choose the Record# selection in the Order by list. Your search will be much faster.

    Say you have 20,000 equipment records and you want to see all the class='DEFI' for manufacturer='PHYCON'. Under the criteria, search fields for: class='DEFI' and manufacturer='PHYCON' for both starting and ending range

    The fastest way to see the data (about 40 seconds roughly) is to specify both criteria and have the order set to record #. This however will not display your data in any particular order but since there is only one class and one manufacturer this should be fine.

    The next fastest way is to specify the manufacturer only, and order by class (which also does control#). Before the data finally comes up, there will be 2 pauses. After the first pause you will see a blank table and a message like 1000 records in 48 seconds. The second pause will take 2-10 times longer before the table is filled. Now page down to the class you want.

    The slowest way is to specify both criteria and order by class.

    Classifications - Areas  (top)

    Path:
    Look up Tables > Classification
    *18 or *C

    Overview:
    ANTECEDENTS AND CONSEQUENT
    Before adding a new area, Area Classification must be entered.
    Trades and fixtures must be entered before area classes.

    WHAT ARE AREA CLASSES?
    Area classes are types of areas inside or outside the hospital.
    Examples of area classes are:

    INSIDE
    Hallways
    Nurses stations
    Intensive care units
    Patient rooms
    Floor
    Building

    OUTSIDE
    Parking lots
    Lawns
    Patios

    Patient rooms could be broken into several more descriptive area classes such as "Patient room, private", "Patient room, semi-private", "Patient room, ward", "Patient room, isolation", etc.. (Each specific room would be an area.)

    WHEN AN AREA CLASS SHOULD BE ADDED
    1. To keep a separate record of work completed for that class or if you want areas grouped or inspected similarly.
    2. If the inspection or preventive maintenance checks are different. An inspection for a break room is probably different than an inspection for a patient room.
    3. The main determinant is that the class should accurately describe the area.
    SETTING UP WITH NON-SPECIFIC AREAS
    Areas do not have to be more specific than area classes. To set up non-specific areas, enter the same key for both the area class and area.

    Miscellaneous
    Field Descriptions:
    AREA CLASS - At least the first three letters must be the same as the general class description.
    Three letters of the general description followed by three letters to separate this class from similar classes is the suggested method. (i.e. "ROOPAT" = ROOM, PATIENT). It is necessary for sorting and searching to use a 12 letter key. For one word names drop the extra letters (e.g. "HALLWA").

    Later, when someone does not know the key, they may enter the first two or three letters and a list of choices beginning with those letters will display on the screen. (i.e. Entering 'RO' may display a list including 'ROOPAT' (Room, Patient), 'ROOPRI' (Room, Private), etc.)

    Use one common system for ALL key entries.

    See 'Classifications/Types - Equipment' section below for balance of Field Definitions.

    Classifications - Equipment  (top)

    Path:
    Look up Tables > Classification
    *18 or *C

    Overview:
    The CLASS is the definition and specifications for one type of equipment or area. (For areas classes, see "Classifications - Areas".)

    Equipment classes might be air conditioners, beds, beds - type 2, exhaust fan, monitor, IV Pump, etc. With an accurate class file, it will be easy to add pieces of Equipment by entering their class, location, and the specifics of their purchase. It will also be easy when using the system to work with one class of equipment or area at a time.

    USES OF CLASSES
    Classes are used to group similar types of equipment, fixtures or areas for reporting and scheduling purposes. To include only the parking lot lights in a system, a separate fixture class (i.e. "LIGLOT") would be required. This class could have the same attributes as the regular light class.

    To include all the parking lots into a system, a separate area class (i.e. "PARLOT") would be required.

    WHEN A SEPARATE CLASS SHOULD BE ADDED
    1. To keep a record for any division of items as a group. Only a record of how much work is done on beds in general may be required, or more specific records on specific types of beds.
      Two types of beds may be from different manufacturers and require separate records to compare performance.

    2. If the inspection or preventive checks are different. Perhaps two types of beds require different checks.

    3. The main determinant is that the class should accurately describe the equipment, or area in that class.

    Miscellaneous: Field Descriptions:
    ---------------------------------------- Page 1 ---------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------

    CLASS KEY - A key code of 1 to 12 letters to represent this type of class

    Use a standard method for all keys. A maximum of 6 characters is recommended.

    We suggest using the first three letters of the equipment type with the first three letters of a further description (i.e. FANEXH = Fan, Exhaust; SWILIG = Switch, Light). Items with similar names will be more difficult. Use three last letters that best define the difference between this and similar equipment. (i.e. MOTELE = Motor, Electric; MOTGAS = Motor, Gas). Whatever format you decide to use, be consistent.

    ECRI#- 12 characters. (Emergency Care Research Institute) If unknown skip.

    DESCRIPTION - Enter the description of the equipment, fixture or area class. Forty (40) characters are available.
    If you entered the Key as equipment type, then further definition you want to match the description by entering the same way.
    Example Descriptions: 'MOTOR, ELECTRIC', 'MOTOR, GAS'

    MODELS - Enter Equipment Models separated by commas. A model file may be used as well.

    SYSTEM - Select the appropriate system from the drop down menu. The type of system this equipment class belongs to.
    Most equipment classes will not belong to a system. However, individual equipment may be assigned to a system as it is entered. The system must already exist in the system file.

  • If Risk is defined in both the Class & Equipment files the system will use the Equipment Risk.
  • See ** Note above.

    MAINTENANCE # - A number used to identify priorities for scheduling. Used per your own procedures.
  • See ** Note above.

    CLASS TYPE - 3 character field. Many facilities use the "class type" field from the classification file to distinguish various types of equipment. Although this is a user defined field most facilities use the following:
  • CP=casual prevention, E=equipment, FS=fire safety, LS=life safety, IC=infection control, U=utility
  • See ** Note above.

    MED EQP TYPE (Med Equip Type) or BMP or H-R - 3 Character field, for Biomed see in-house manual.

    Overview:
    The closing and post option is used for editing and posting only.

    When using this option the Post push-button will display for users with the Closing Access level of 5 (post all orders) or 6 (post your orders).
    See Phone Closings and Post for Phone specific information.

    What is the difference between closing and posting?
    The closing programs allow for more than one person to add & close work orders at the same time. When you close, the information entered on this screen is stored in a file. When you post, the data is stored to the database.

    Why is closing separate from posting?
    Closing is done separate from posting to give management the ability to review data prior to being posted to the database. This ensures data integrity. Once a record is posted the data cannot be corrected. You must use the unclose option.

    When should I Post?
    At the end of the day (or any time), this data must be "posted" to the database. This should be done about once a day. "Posting" is a disk intensive operation and we recommend that no additional closings should be done while posting.

    How do I verify a close order is posted?
    Go to the 'Closing And Post' option; Select the Posted radio button; Click Find; View the status field, “P” means posted.

    Flags and Security Settings:
    In the setup file there is the setup flag F028 - Post when saving record. When active, the system will automatically post all closings.

      2. If the procedures are appropriate for this piece of equipment, proceed to step 4.
      3. If the procedures are not appropriate for this piece of equipment, add a new Class (step 2.b.) for this type of equipment.
      4. If no checks exist or appropriate Interval does not exist, add the inspection procedures and/or Interval by clicking the Add Checks Push-button. Otherwise you can make entries via > Menu Path: Look Up Tables > Inspection Checks > On the Inspection Checks (tasks) window, click "New", and enter the appropriate information).

    4. Add the equipment to the Equipment file via Menu path: Equipment > Add Equipment.
      1. Select control and class, click continue, then enter the appropriate information.

    Cycle Weeks And Monthly PM's  (top)

    Overview:
    Cycle weeks are important since they determine when the interval (cycle) is to begin.

    Example:
    If an inspection is to occur once a year cycling in January (Week 3), the inspection will occur in Jan 2009, 2010, 2011 etc.

    ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------
    Please avoid using cycle week 1 for monthly PM's as the system may generate the 'Monthly PM' twice in one month.
    Week and month guidelines are provided on the Equipment and Area screen, scheduling section.
    Example:
    In the year 2004 week 22 starts on may 30th, but you should date the pm's June 1st
    Week 35 starts august 29th but you should date the pm's Sept 1st.

    Note:
    In 2004 week 1 started Sunday Jan 4th. 2005 is easier Jan 2nd starts week 1.

    ----------------------------------------
    Another Example:
    In the year 2009 January 1st occurred on a Thursday

    Some clients wanted week 1 to be December 28, 2008 through January 3, 2009. Other clients wanted week 1 to be January 4, 2009 through January 10, 2009.

    It is the clients call on what they want to be considered week 1. Whatever you decide make sure to document this on a calendar to aid when creating PM's.

    ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------
    For reporting purposes mPro3 calculates on a 4,4,5 week base to make a quarter.

    Example:
    Month        Weeks      Weeks Counted for a Quarter 
    January 1 to 4 4 weeks
    February 5 to 8 4 weeks
    March 9 to 13 5 weeks
    April 14 to 17 4 weeks
    May 18 to 21 4 weeks
    June 22 to 26 5 weeks

    RECALLS - Procedure to handle product bulletins or recalls

    In the equipment file, add each class as a control number.

    1. In the repair entry screen, create a work order for each class.
      Use the class field for the control # field. Fill in whatever other fields you think you need but you can probably skip them all except cost center.
    2. Before you save the work order, go up to field WORK ORDER, and put the class key in there also.
      Also change (1=blanket billing) and put a 1 in this field. This way the class can have a permanent way of recording service history.
    3. When closing, use the product bulletin or recall service code and also add comments to specify exactly what you wish to have recorded.
    4. You can later list service history to see all information for your class.
    If you have any suggestions or improvements on these procedures, please let us know.

    Downtime/Total Open Time  (top)

    Downtime is computed for equipment repair work orders only by the closing programs.
    Downtime is calculated based on the following:
    1. There must be a model # on the repair work order. This is to cut down on generic equipment work orders.
    2. The service code must be a repair service code (less than 1100 or greater than 2100 or 481=loaner) as the first service code.
    3. The work order must be completed

    The downtime is kept in hours and is on the second window of Repair/Inspection orders listed as Total open time.

    You may also see the field TOTAL HOURS OPEN in the WORKORD database. The downtime appears on the Repair Quality Assurance Report under the Accountability pull down.

    The closing programs update TOTAL HOURS OPEN only if TOTAL HOURS OPEN=0 and only for code 489 and complete order.

    Employee Accountability (Report)  (top)

    Also see Accountability (General Information) in this manual.

    Path:
    Accountability Reports > Employee Accountability

    Overview:
    This report creates a one page summary for each employee and trade of closed work orders, time charged, % of time, Standard Time, and Standard/Charged Time Ratio for a specified time period (usually one month) and includes comparative information for the last several months.

    Counts are based on work done this month regardless of when the Work Order was created.

    Items reported include: Inspections, Incomplete Inspections, Incoming Inspections, Repairs on Equipment, Repairs in Area, Administrative support, Technical Support, Staff/Clinical Support, Use Error, No Problem Found, Training & Education, Projects, and Vendor related service.

    Update Employee File for work and paid hours. The employee "WORKED HOURS" and "PAID HOURS" fields should be entered before running this report. (Look up Tables > Employee Hours, Work and Paid hours are on found for each selected month and year.)

    The report always creates an excel spreadsheet.

    This report includes a wealth of information. When you close a work order, the first service code used determines which category the work order falls into. However project orders are counted as often as they are closed and only fall into the project line regardless of service codes.

    "CHARGED TIME" - includes service time for all closing statements. Therefore it is possible to have a "0" in the "TOTAL WO'S" column and have a number in the "CHARGED TIME" column.

    "% OF TIME" - will not add up to exactly 100% due to rounding of individual figures.
    "STANDARD TIME" - For inspections, the standard time is from the Inspection procedure file.
    For repairs, the time comes from the projected time. If none exists, the service time is used.
    "S/A" - standard time divided by actual (charged) time.
    All average columns are based on the number of months of data, inclusive of the current month.

    QA Categories and generally service code ranges the QA code corresponds to.
    QA 1 - Administrative Support 1400-1450 excluding 1405, 1427
    QA 2 - Area Repairs
    QA 3 - Equipment Repairs
    QA 4 - Failed Inspections 1900's
    QA 5 - Hazards/Incidents 1250-1299
    QA 6 - Inspections 1600's
    QA 7 - Incomplete Inspections 1700's
    QA 8 - Incoming Inspections 1800's
    QA 9 - No Problem Found 1200-1249
    QA 10 - Non-Productive Time 1427, 1490-1499 (This report looks at QA category 10 to determine if the time is Non-Productive)
    QA 11 - Use Error 1100's
    QA 12 - Projects wo type=4
    QA 13 - Staff / Clinical Support 1300's
    QA 14 - Technical Support 1500-1599
    QA 15 - Training / Education 1405, 1451-1469
    QA 16 - Vendor Related Service 2000-2099

    Hours per inspection or hours per repair may not be exact. If two people have done work on the inspection or repair, only one of them will get credit for having completed a repair or inspection. Both people will get their correct time charged. If we counted the inspection twice because 2 people did work on it, then the number of inspections would be inflated.

    Inspections completed is a percentage based on the number completed plus the number failed.
    There is no relationship to inspections that were not closed. That analysis is done by the monthly report.

    ACCOUNTABILITY DOES ANALYSIS ON CLOSED REPAIRS AND INSPECTIONS ONLY.

    If you have changed an employee's trade, there will be one report for each trade.

    Spreadsheets are always created.
    The first has all QA categories. The 2nd combines into the equipment repair category
    QA 1=Admin, Technical Support, Clinical Support, Use Error, No Problem Found, Vendor Related Service and Hazard Orders.

    Miscellaneous:
    If you see asterisks in the summary sections this may be because:
  • We only keep track of monthly hours worked and paid. This is why some #'s may have *** in them. We don't have the data to calculate.
  • We only do averages for a month so if you run less than a month we don't try to average that out.

    Employee Training History  (top)

    1) In the class file, add a classification called TRAIN. It doesn't need any other parameters filled in.

    2) In the equipment file, add each employee as a control number. You can use the employees social security number or their employee number or employee key for the control number (Pick one method and use it consistently). Set the class as TRAIN. It doesn't need any other parameters filled in.

    Using the ADD & CLOSE feature, add a work order for each item for which the employee is trained/qualified, using the control number you entered in step 2 for the control # field. Fill in whatever other fields you think you need.

    When closing, use the qa category 15 (Training/Education) and the appropriate training service code(s). Use the "notes" box to specify exactly what training course was taken. If you want, you can even assign specific service codes* for specific training classes.

    Reporting
    Use the service history list to see all training courses for your employees. To get a report for a specific employee, use "specify report criteria"; in the "field names" section, choose CLASS; for the operator, use "="; in the "value" section, enter the employees key.

    If you have any suggestions or improvements on these procedures, please call.

    *To get a list of which employees have taken which course, this is a requirement. Then you can use the service history report and just ask for that specific service code.

    Entering Ranges  (top)

    A starting Key of "A" will process all items beginning with "A" and continue until the ending Key.

    An ending key of "D" would only process the items up to "D", but WOULD NOT INCLUDE "DA...." because that is after "D" alphabetically. Use an ending Key of "DZZZZZ" to include all items that have a Key beginning with "D".

    To process only the items for a single Key, enter the Key as starting and ending. (If you enter "EMERGE" in starting and ending key for cost center, and press Enter, ALL work orders for the "EMERGE" cost center will be processed.)

    For numeric entries use the lowest number desired, or "1" (or blank) to print everything, for the beginning key.

    For the ending numeric key use the highest number desired or at least as many nines as your highest key would have digits. (i.e. "999999" if your highest numbers have six digits.)

    Numbers with decimal (356.32), numbers with dashes (42-98476), and numbers combined with letters are all treated as alphanumeric entry. Be careful to specify the correct range.

    LOWER CASE LETTERS should not appear in your Keys as they will not alphabetize with upper case letters, however, mPro3 will correct the casing and will not make searches and listings inaccurate. The ordering of upper and lower casing is an effect of ASCII, the accepted order of characters.

    All key fields are automatically set to uppercase regardless of what you enter.

    b. Equipment > Equipment (*28)
    c. Equipment > Add Equipment (*251)
    d. New Record > Equipment (Used to create a new record)

    Overview:
    Prior to entering equipment, the following files must be entered: Classifications, Vendor/Manufacturers, Cost Centers, and Areas.

    Equipment is entered before contracts and work orders.

    Systems and Facilities can be entered before the equipment, but are not required. (Usually, systems are set up after the program has been running for awhile.)

    WHY CREATE AN EQUIPMENT RECORD?
    Any piece of equipment that requires an individual record and service history should be entered into the equipment file.

    ENTERING EQUIPMENT AS IT COMES DUE
    If an engineering department is under pressure to bring the system up quickly, equipment due for inspection or service may be entered first. This would only require the previous entry of Classifications, Vendors, Cost Centers, and Areas.

    SEARCHING THE EQUIPMENT FILE
    When traversing the equipment file, the user may switch the order the records are displayed in.
    When you first enter the equipment window, select the order by drop-down list to change the order if desired.
    The data records will display within the search criteria by control #.
    Example: You would like to see the records by manufacturer. Let's say that AA Plumbing is the first manufacturer. The control#'s will be in order until the next manufacturer is displayed.

    You may select what fields to display by clicking the 'Field List' dropdown. These fields will be set as a default for further searches. The 'Find' key must be pressed for system to set new default list.

    Fields such as serial number or control number can be used to find one piece of equipment. The other fields can be used to look at all the equipment with the same vendor or in the same cost center, etc.. The matching item with the lowest control number will display first.

    Tabs
    The tabs located at the top of the screen allow you to jump to specific data locations - sets.

    GROUP EQUIPMENT RECORDS FOR EASY ENTRY
    Equipment records should be sorted by class before being entered into the computer. (It may also help to sort them secondarily by cost center.)

    THE FREE INDEX AND REFERENCE FIELDS
    The free and reference fields have no assigned purpose. Their use can be decided by the user, but it is important to use a standard form of entry in all records.

    It is not necessary to use the free index or reference until a need becomes apparent. In fact, users who use these fields immediately are often wanting to change their use after a period of time. It is suggested to wait.

    The Free Index is an 12 character indexed field. It is included in listing and searching routines, so it is best to use it for information that will need to be searched. Examples of using this index: Hospital asset numbers, condition (i.e. NEW = Check Warranty, DEAD = Ready to replace, etc.), or shop.

    Equipment With Clinical Alarms  (top)

    Here are a few options for identifying equipment with clinical alarms.

    In the class file:
    -----------transfers to -----------------
    Field to use equipment work order service history indexed
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    system Y Y N Y
    class type (clstype) Y Y Y Y
    M1, M2 or any M field Y N N N

    The system field translates. For example, define the key CL in the system file for Contains Clinical Alarm. That verbiage would appear on some reports.
    Even though the system field is not in the service history it does relate back to the work order file so you can always report on it.

    The class type field does not translate and may be incorrectly entered, though this is doubtful. On the plus side it's in all the files and indexed.

    The M1, M2 fields let you can define the prompt "Clinical Alarm" in the class and then that's it. It will appear on the work orders. The downside is it's not indexed but you can still run reports and queries though they would be slower.

    ANTECEDENTS AND CONSEQUENT

    Facility records are not necessary to use the system, but they are easy to add and have no complex relation to the system. If the Facility file is used, it can be set up at any time prior to entering equipment, areas, or projects. No previous entries are required to enter Facilities.

    WHY USE THE Facility FILE?

    "Facility" is a reference field in the equipment, area, work order, and project files.

    For hospitals with multiple facilities.

    You will be able to run reports based on this as well as keep work orders and equipment separated.

    No costs or totals are maintained in the Facility file but any number of reports may be run.

    COLLECTING Facility DATA

    The following information will be needed to enter Facilities:

    1. Facility key ______________

    2. Facility name ____________________________

    Field Descriptions:
    Facility KEY - 12 characters available; The common name or number for this Facility is the best entry. Do not use punctuation.

    NAME - 30 characters are available to describe the Facility. The key entry could be repeated here or the location or purpose could be described.

    Glossary  (top)

    ALPHANUMERIC - An order which puts items in order by ASCII code. This is basically numbers first and then characters. These items are in alphanumeric order: {1, 3, 662, 1075, 1233D, 4SS, AARD, BAD, etc.} Notice that numbers with letters are treated as characters, where the first character read determines the order. Alphanumeric entries are left justified.

    ANTECEDENT - A process that comes before another process.

    AREA CLASS FILE - General types of areas.

    AREA FILE - Specific rooms and locations.

    AUTOPROMPT - When you enter data or a work order, you will need to enter the information such as Vendor or Trade by using the key for the desired entry. Auto prompt is a means of finding the key if you don't remember it. It is explained in the data entry section.

    BILLING BY MONTH - The work order file has an option to bill the accumulated costs on a work order each month. Otherwise, the total cost is billed when the work order is complete or as it is closed.

    BUILDING FILE - Physical description of hospital

    CHARGE RATES - In the trade and employee files, up to 3 rates can be entered to be charged against cost centers or as an account of expenditures. Options for this field are listed in the trade file chapter.

    CHECK - A specific step involved on an inspection of a particular class of equipment or area.

    CHECK LIST - A page provided for each data file which lists all the information required for entry of a record. The lists contains a blank space to write down the entries. These can be copied to make data collection easier.

    CLASS - A name that describes a group or type of equipment or area with the same Inspection procedures and other information. Each piece of equipment (or area) entered into the system is entered as a class rather than a description. The operator selects the key for the correct class.

    CLASSIFICATION - see CLASS.

    CLEARING YEAR-TO-DATE TOTALS - Many of the data files maintain year-to-date costs of materials and labor. These figures need to be cleared (reset to zero) at the end of the fiscal year, after all work has been closed and the final monthly report run.

    CLEARING WORK ORDERS - Purging the work order file of all work orders that have been closed 60 days.

    CONSEQUENT - A process that comes after another process.

    CONTRACTS - Service performed by outside vendors under contract is treated differently by the system.

    CONTROL# - Equipment or Area tag#.

    COST CENTER FILE - Records of departments and cost centers.

    COST CENTER REPORT - The cost center report is a summary of all work orders closed in the reported month. It should be run at the end of the month after closings have been completed or within the first few days of the following month before new closings are made.

    CLOSING WORK ORDERS - Entering information about a completed or partially completed work order. Closing a Work Order adds the information to the equipment history, and updates totals in all files related to that item. The work order will remain in the work order file for 60 days after the last closing. Work Orders closed more than 60 days will be deleted when you run "28. Clear Order file". This allows a reasonable amount of time to close more work to the work order. If it is going to be open longer, mark the work order for billing by month.

    CONTRACT FILE - Specific outside arrangements.

    CTRL+ALT+DEL - A method of rebooting (booting) by simultaneously pressing the combination of keys, Ctrl + Alt + Del.

    CURSOR - The little light on your screen that indicates the prompt you are entering. See also PROMPT.

    DATA FILE - A database or file that contains records, for example the equipment file contains records that hold information about various equipment.

    DEFAULT - When answering any prompt, the answer that is used when you only press Enter. Usually the default answer will be displayed on the screen after Enter is pressed. In the equipment and area, This is often used to repeat the same answer as the previous item.

    DELETE MODE - Used in the data and work order files to delete records. It is important to verify that a record is not in use before deleting it. For example, an equipment record should not be deleted if there are any work orders for the item in the work order file.

    DISK DRIVE - A device on which the programs and data are stored.

    DRAWING REFERENCE NUMBER - If schematics or diagrams are kept for an area or piece of equipment, the location of those materials can be stored in this field.

    EQUIPMENT AND FIXTURE CLASS FILE - Types of equipment and fixtures. See also CLASS.

    EMPLOYEE FILE - Personnel record.

    ENTER - written this way it means to press the "Enter" key. This will be a "Return" key on PC/XT style keyboards. Sometimes "Enter" and "Return" are used interchangeably in this manual.

    ESC - The escape key. Depending on the application, the key may be pressed at any time to get out of any function.

    ESTIMATED LIFE - The number of months an item is expected to be useful. This field is in the equipment class file.

    EXERCISING THE DATAWAND BATTERY - It is necessary to run a rechargeable battery all the way down and then recharge it. This does not need to be done every time, but should be done a few times each month to extend the batteries life and ability to store a charge.

    EXTENSION - Used to refer to a telephone extension.

    FIELDS - In a file, records are organized in rows and columns. A field is a synonym for a column that contains a value for a record, or a single item of information in a row. Example: In the Equipment file, some fields are: control#, model#, serial #.

    FILE - A group of records. The information may be the same as would be stored in a physical file, yet the information in a computer file is not necessarily kept in order. Indexes are used to find the information by record numbers.

    FIRE CLASS - The hospital's standard fire codes. This field occurs in a few files.

    FLOORS - Standard names should be given to each floor so that they may be used by the program.

    FREE INDEX - An indexed field to be used for any purpose you like. The index will allow an alphabetical or numeric sort on this field.

    INDEX - A file containing the SORTED version of a file. It is sorted on one field and indicates the alphanumeric order of records containing that field. See also ORDER DATA BY.

    Indexing a field allows the system to search the files very rapidly.

    An index does not actually put all the records in order. It creates an ordered list of the indexed field with a note of which record is represented. This permits the system to keep only one copy of each file, even if the file is indexed on ten different fields.

    INQUIRE MODE - Used in the data and work order files to view records. If the inquire mode is chosen, the cursor will stop at the first field, prompting for the desired record. Some files will let you Inquire on other fields. For example, in the Equipment file records can be located by any of nine fields.

    ITEM - Used for areas and/or equipment. This definition is necessary for clarity within this manual. Many functions and statements apply to both.

    JUSTIFIED - See RIGHT JUSTIFIED and LEFT JUSTIFIED.

    KEY - A six (sometimes longer) character symbol or abbreviation that represents a record. Examples are "SURGER" to represent surgery or "HENDRI" to represent the employee record for James Hendrix. Using the key system, only this key can be used for this employee. Because there is one standard entry per employee, cost center, piece of equipment, etc., many potential errors and problems are avoided and entry time is saved.

    It is important to use a standard method when creating Keys. Methods are suggested in the chapter for each data file.

    In the equipment file, key also means control#. In the Repair/Inspection file, key also means order#.

    LABOR RATES - The hourly labor rates to be used when calculating labor charges. Three levels are entered in the employee file and in the Trade file.

    LEFT JUSTIFIED - Field variables that are stored in the left of a field. This usually applies to all non-numeric fields. Justification is significant when fields are compared or sorted. These entries are left justified:

    TRAVEL TIME - use code 664 for closing for non-accountability clients. use code 1423 for employee travel time. Use code 2008 for vendor travel time

    TRADE LEVEL - If an employee's trade key does not specify a level, it can be entered in this field. (Employee file.)

    UNLOCKING FILES - Many files in mPro3 can only be entered by one user at a time. This is necessary to prevent data errors. If one of these files is exited in an irregular manner, it will result in leaving the file locked, even though no one is on the system.

    This will require security level one. DO NOT use this feature to override the intended purpose of the locking program. All users should return to the menu, before and after running UNLOCK. If this selection is used often, you should call for help.

    UNSCHEDULED WORK ORDER - A repair. A work order created by the user.

    Graphing  (top)

    Use To use Excel to graph data do the following:
    Example:
    Let's say you just ran the monthly report. One of the last pages prints a list of all the cost centers/departments with various totals.
    The monthly report creates a database table with these numbers.
    Let's graph the repair labor and material.
    Click on the excel link once the report has been completed. This will open up Microsoft Excel with all the records from the report.

    Delete unnecessary columns: Click on the letter of the column, then Edit, Delete, Entire column. For our example, delete the MNUMKEY, MRT column, and all the columns to the right of MRM.

    Create your graph: Click on Insert, Chart, and follow the Chart Wizard prompts. (Note: Step 4 of the chart wizard asks where to place the chart -you may want to choose "As new sheet". This will put the chart on a separate page and make formatting & printing easier.)
    You then select the field you desire and what type of graph, etc.

    All major files in the show screen

    Overview:
    Archive was a term used in mPro3 for windows, we use the term inactivate (delete) in mPro3 online. mPro3 Online does not delete a record from the database it's inactivated.

    Various types of files can be inactivated/activated i.e. Equipment, Class, Vendor, Work order etc. This process is done in the record 'Show Screen' using the Delete or Recall push-button.
    Flags And/Or Security Settings:
    User must have the privilege setting of 4 or above on the associated file to inactivate/reactivate a record. Modify these privileges in the User file.

    Miscellaneous:
    1. CLASS FILE:
      • If you delete a class, the system deletes all inspection checks associated with that class.
      • If you un-delete the class, the system automatically un-deletes all checks associated with that class

    2. DELETE / INACTIVATE A CHECK:
      • DO NOT DELETE ANY CHECKS! Deleting a check/procedure will cause problems when printing historical information.
      • Be aware if you inactivate (delete) a check and need to print a past PM, the check portion will not print.
      • When deleting a check verify it is not scheduled for areas or equipment that are attached to the checks class.
        Example:
        If you have 2 procedures a yearly and semi-annual for 1 trade and then decide you don't want the semi-annual anymore.
        Zero out the cycle week first for all applicable areas or equipment and then inactivate the check.

    Inspection Reports (Worksheet)  (top)

    Path:
    a. Inspections > Inspection Reports (*229 or *IR)
    b. Inspections > Create Area Inspections > Inspection Reports Push-button

    Overview:
    There are two main purposes for this program:

    First, it provides an aging sheet for inspections. This will let you find the oldest inspections in the system and find out why they were not closed. The job may have been shelved, it may be awaiting parts, or maybe it's complete, but the paperwork hasn't been closed. In any case the appropriate action needs to be taken. Closing statements can be used to record the progress in the status field of the work order.

    The second purpose of this report is to provide a work sheet for tracking completed inspections or to do the inspections directly from the worksheet without printing individual inspection forms.

    Note: The 'Trade' that appears on the PM Form/Reports is the Trade of the Employee assigned to the work order.

    Process Flow:
    Fill in the appropriate parameters in the fields provided.


    Reports:
    There are five report formats available:
    1. Inspection Worksheet - This worksheet provides a list so user may do the inspections directly from the worksheet without printing individual inspection forms. This worksheet includes both areas and equipment.
    2. Inspection Worksheet Equipment - This worksheet should only be used for equipment. This is a multi-line report providing more information.
    3. Inspection Worksheet Landscape - This worksheet should only be used for equipment. This worksheet provides a list of equipment that has to be inspected. Make sure page setup is Landscape.
    4. Inspection Report Landscape - This is a one-line report. Make sure page setup is Landscape.
    5. Inspections Closed - This is a multi-line report that shows Service History (if any) for Closed inspections.

    Items not included on Report:
    Changing cost center, department, vendor, manufacturer, and/or classification keys on a piece of equipment will not change repair/inspection orders or service history.

    Changing inspection intervals or trades in the classification file or changing the cycle week in the equipment file will cause the old inspection forms to omit inspection procedures if they are reprinted.

    Note: Use Inspection Worksheet to view all inspections including missing inspections from Inspection Worksheet Equipment or Inspection Worksheet Landscape.

    Report Templates:
    Templates are used to save the parameters for reports you run most often.

    Create a new Template:
    Enter the various data parameters on pages 1 & 2, then enter a Template name (One that identifies the purpose of the report). Click the Save Report Template push-button on the page two.

    Use a saved Template:
    On window 1 select the appropriate template from the Report Parameters drop down menu. Click the Select push-button and the template defined parameters will populate. Make any changes necessary (i.e. date), then click the Create Report push-button.

    Delete Template:
    On window 1 select the appropriate template from the Report Parameters drop down menu. Click the Select push-button and the template defined parameters will be populated.

    Inspections (General Information)  (top)

    Overview:
    Inspections can be created for equipment or areas and are usually created for a range of weeks that covers one month.

    Inspections are created based on:
    1. Inspection procedures - See the Inspection Procedures section of this document.
    2. Week of greatest inspection in equipment or area file.

    Inspections are created regardless if there is an open inspection out there for that same piece of equipment.

    Warranty inspections are generated based on the date range selected. You can get multiple warranty inspections if you generate weekly inspections and request warranties every week. Only request warranties the first week of the month if you generate weekly inspections.

    Warnings:
    1. If you create inspections and get an error, do not create inspections again. This will cause system problems.
      Contact Mayer Computer Services for assistance.

    2. When creating multiple batches of PMs, please wait for the batch to complete printing before clicking the 'Create Forms' push-button for the next batch.

    Inspections Attempted  (top)

    Path:
    Inspections > Reports > Inspections Attempted

    Overview:
    Generally run for a month, 3 months back.
    Example: it is now May 1st. Run report for February.

    All QA category 7 inspections appear on report.

    If you have the flag F034 if close with 1662,1700, 1701, 1708 keep inspt. open. See F113 for 2nd and subsequent closings override 1st closing; On (Active) - in the setup file, the following happens:
    1. When there is an inspection that was never closed because the unit was unavailable, Close the inspection with QA category 7 and the appropriate service code. Do not put any time.

    2. The Inspections Attempted Report keys in on the QA Category 7 for the record to appear on the report.

    3. When the equipment is found, close the old inspection as 'Completed' using the appropriate Service Code and QA Category 6.

    4. Service history will show 2 entries showing the inspection was completed.

    5. When the final closing is complete (QA Category 6), the entry will no longer appear on the report.
    Or ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    If you have the flag F034 if close with 1662,1700, 1701, 1708 keep inspt. open. See F113 for 2nd and subsequent closings override 1st closing; Off (Inactive) - in the setup file, the following happens:
    1. When you run into an inspection that was never closed and it was probably because the unit was unavailable, close the old inspection with QA category 7 and the appropriate service code with the last day of the month that the inspection was generated for.

    2. Then close out that old inspection as completed using whatever code you are using to close out the inspection you are currently doing (do not put in any time). Use today's date or whatever date you actually did the inspection on. This way the old inspection gets closed out and old reports will run properly. The service history will show 2 entries for different order numbers but the same date showing the inspection was completed. That's ok. All reporting will be correct.
    Flags And/Or Security Settings:
    F034 if close with 1662,1700, 1701, 1708 keep inspt. open. See F113 for 2nd and subsequent closings override 1st closing

    Miscellaneous:
    If you get an error "Too many records to process", run the report by department as a work around.
    We are currently working on the code to correct this issue.

    If you close an inspection with a 1700 service code (Equipment Not Located), that inspection will be marked as missed in the equipment file. If a PM is printed the history shows it was not located.

    Overview:
    mPro3 is essentially compatible with any Windows, Android, or iOS device.

    Achieving 100% cross-browser compatible Web applications is practically impossible and sometimes adjustments are required when a fresh new browser version appears. mPro3 is designed to be compatible with multiple browsers and platforms, despite their technological differences.

    To ensure compatibility, we test our application on various browser versions and platform combinations.

    Developers make every effort to resolve all issues. We document in our online manual and give solutions to issues that cannot be resolved within a particular browser/platform.

        This flag is located in Tools > Internet Options > Advanced Tab > Browsing section
      ---------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------

    3. IE 7 - Passwords settings:   (top)
      1. To turn off prompt to save passwords in Internet Explorer 7.0:
        1. In Internet Explorer, Select "Tools"
        2. Select "Internet Options"
        3. Open the "Content" tab
        4. In the AutoComplete section click the Settings push-button
        5. Uncheck 'User name and passwords on forms' and 'Prompt me to save password'

      2. To delete AutoComplete History and Clear Out Passwords for sites previously visited in Internet Explorer 7.0 perform the following two processes:
        - Delete Form Data using the Delete forms push-button
        - Delete Passwords using the Delete passwords push-button
        1. In Internet Explorer, Select 'Tools'
        2. Select 'Internet Options'.
        3. Click on the 'General' tab.
        4. In the 'Browsing history' area click the "Delete..." button, the 'Delete Browsing History' window will now appear.
        5. In the Forms Data section - click 'Delete forms' push-button and then click 'Yes'
        6. In the Passwords section - Click 'Delete passwords...' push-button and then click 'Yes'
        7. Close the Internet Explorer 7.0 window and re-open.

      Note 1:
        The AutoComplete feature in Internet Explorer can save Web addresses, form data, and access credentials such as usernames and passwords. This information will then be automatically entered every time you visit the site again.

        The issue is that the credentials will also be automatically entered for anyone else who sits down at your computer and access those same sites. It defeats the purpose of having usernames and passwords if they are already automatically entered by your computer.

      Note 2:
        You can select or de-select different types of information to store in AutoComplete:
      • Web addresses stores URL's that you type and automatically tries to complete them the next time so you don't have to type the whole thing each time.
      • Forms stores data such as your address and phone number to try to help populate form fields so you don't have to re-type the same information every time
      • User names and passwords on forms stores the usernames and passwords for sites you visit and automatically enters them when you visit the site again. There is a sub-option to check so that Internet Explorer will prompt you each time rather than automatically saving passwords. You can use this if you want to use the feature, but not save passwords for more sensitive sites such as your bank account.
      • You can turn off AutoComplete entirely by de-selecting each box

      Note 3:
        Even if you turn off AutoComplete, or just the option to save user names and passwords in AutoComplete, the passwords that have already been stored will remain. Go to the General tab and click the Delete button in the Browser History section to get rid of stored passwords.

      Note 4:
        If an Administrator account is used to reset the Windows password for a user account, all stored information such as passwords will be erased. This is to prevent an Administrator from being able to gain access to your information by changing your password. The AutoComplete feature seems like a nice idea. It is helpful to use the AutoComplete of Web addresses so that you only have to type in long URL's once and then Internet Explorer will remember them the next time. But, storing passwords in AutoComplete is a bad idea unless you have some other way of ensuring that nobody but you will ever have access to your computer. If remembering usernames and passwords is a problem, We recommend disabling the AutoComplete feature.

    Interval Overrides  (top)

    Path:
    Option located in the Equipment File.

    Overview:
    When equipment (within a class) requires a different inspection frequency, an interval override may be used. The override is related to the Inspection Interval and Trade.
    Valid Overrides are: 
    1   Weekly			13  Quarterly			208 Every Four Years	
    2   Every Two Weeks		17  Every Four Months		260 Every Five Years		
    3   Every Three weeks		26  Every Six Months		312 Every Six Years
    4   Monthly			52  Yearly			364 Every Seven Years
    5   Every Five Weeks		78  Every 1.5 Years		416 Every Eight Years		
    6   Every Six Weeks		104 Every Two Years		468 Every Nine Years		
    8   Every Two Months		130 Every 2.5 Years		520 Every Ten Years		
    10  Every Ten Months(area only)	156 Every Three Years		624 Every Twelve Years
    Example Scenario:
    1. Beds in the ER need to be inspected more often than beds in regular patient rooms. (ER Beds 2x per year, Regular beds 1x per year)
    2. Using the same Class and PM procedures we can Override the frequency of the inspection interval with the associated trade for a specific piece of equipment.
    3. Example: the Inspection Interval in the top box is 52, meaning annual. Enter 26 in the interval override. That piece of equipment will now be inspected twice a year.
    4. The system looks at the Trade/Inspection Intervals in the upper section, then checks to see if there is an Override in the lower section.
      If an override is defined, the system processes the lower section (override section) and ignores the upper section.

    Keys - General & Changing   (top)

    Overview:
    See section below for changing keys details.
    The system uses "keys" to represent files.
    All files are accessed via keys.
    This makes data entry much faster than typing in a full name.
    You get to make up the keys. In most files, keys can be 1 to 12 characters in length.

    When creating keys, we suggest you use a minimum of 3 characters, and try to keep to a maximum of 6 characters.
    1. If one word, use first 3-6 letters to create a unique key
      Examples:
      ENG represents the cost center ENGINEERING
      15246 represents the control#/asset# of a piece of equipment

    2. If two words, use first 3 letters of each word
      Examples:
      BOBJOH represents the employee BOB JOHNSON
      MOTELE represents the equipment classification MOTOR, ELECTRIC

    3. If more than two words, use first 3 letters from the first word, and then 2 letters from each subsequent word.
      Example:
      ROOPAAC represents the area classification ROOM, PATIENT, ACUTE CARE
    Miscellaneous:
    PROMPTING & KEYS
    You do not need to know the exact key when entering data. Enter the first few letters of the item you are looking for and the system will give you a list of keys and corresponding names for you to choose from.

    Special Characters
    Please do not use the following special characters in mPro3.

    Materials  (top)

    Overview:
    WHAT ARE MATERIALS?
    Materials are any substance other than parts used during service work or inspections. The material file keeps a record of materials used in the engineering department so that projections of material costs can be made. Materials are used on the 2nd window of the area file.

    ANTECEDENTS AND CONSEQUENT
    Materials records are not necessary to use the system. Usually, this file will be used only after the program has been in use for a long time. If the material file is used, they can be entered before the area class during the original set-up. Vendors must be entered before materials.

    NEW MATERIAL WORKSHEET
    The following information will be needed to enter materials:

    1. Material key ____________
    2. Material name ______________________________
    3. Manufacturer (key) ______________________________
    4. Catalog number ______________________________
    5. Color ______________ 6. Pattern _______________________
    7. Vendor #1 ______________________________
    8. catalog number _______________________
    9. Vendor #2 ______________________________
    10. Catalog number ______________________
    11. Fire class _________
    12. Cost per square foot _________
    13. Labor per square foot_________
    14. Life in months _________

    Field Descriptions:
    MATERIAL KEY - At least the first three letters must be the same as the general description of the material. Three letters of the general description followed by three letters to separate this material from similar materials is the suggested method. (i.e. "PANMAH" = PANeling, MAHogany). It is necessary for sorting and searching to use a six letter key. For one word names drop the extra letters (i.e. "enter Corkboard as "CORKBO"").

    If there are too many variations of this material to describe with the last three letters, a numeric system may be a solution. Paints could be coded "PAIB12", "PAIG04", "PAIW28", etc.

    Later, when someone does not know the key, they may enter the first two or three letters and a list of choices beginning with those letters will display on the screen. (i.e. Entering "PA" may display a list including "PAIWHI - Paint, White", "PANMAP - Paneling, Maple", etc.).

    Use one common system for ALL key entries.

    NAME - 30 characters are available to enter the material name.

    MANUFACTURER - The key from the manufacturer (vendor) file.

    CATALOGUE NUMBERS - The product code according to the vendor or manufacturer entered in the previous field. This applies to all three cases of this field.

    COLOR - The color of this material, if there is only one.

    PATTERN - The pattern if it applies to this material.

    VENDORS - Two vendors may be entered to record two resources for this material. If there is no second vendor, Press enter for the second vendor prompt.

    FIRE CLASS - 2 character limit. User defined.

    COST PER SQUARE FOOT - The purchase cost of materials to install one square foot (or unit).

    LABOR PER SQUARE FOOT - The estimated cost of installing new material.

    EXPECTED LIFE - Expressed in months, up to 9,999.

    MANUFACTURER DISCLOSURE STATEMENT FOR MEDICAL DEVICE SECURITY (MDS2)

    The Medical Device Security Workgroup of the Health care Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) created the Manufacturer Disclosure Statement for Medical Device Security (MDS2) form to allow medical device manufacturers to provide information security information in a standardized manner. This form simplifies and speeds acquisition and distribution of this information for both manufacturers and health care facilities. Manufacturers will be able to respond to many health care facility needs with a single form. Also, health care organizations can receive comprehensive information from each manufacturer in a standardized format that will simplify application of that information. The completed form may already be available from the manufacturer - if it is not the manufacturer is more likely to respond with useful information if a hospital requests information on this standardized form than if individualized requests for information are submitted.

    Mean Time Between Failures  (top)

    Choose MEAN TIME BETWEEN FAILURES from the SPECIAL REPORTS pull down.

    Calculates the "mean" time between Failures as recorded in your Service History file by looking at QA cat 4, FAILED INSPECTIONS.

    Because this report scans service history, it is generally a slow report.

    See the Mean time between repairs for additional information.

    Revised: 08/29/2002


    Mean Time Between Repairs  (top)

    Choose MEAN TIME BETWEEN REPAIRS from the SPECIAL REPORTS pull down.

    Scans service history & creates an index at the location of the service history file to speed things up but generally a slow report.

    Looks at QA Category 3, REPAIRS.

    It is best to run the report for a long period of time.

    You should re total units before running report (under Utilities pull down). You may want to make sure all equipment classes have a "1" in the type field in the classification file.

    The number of hits is the number of 2nd, 3rd, etc. repairs for a given control#. It is for calculation purposes. For example: Say you have a class called "BED" and 3 control#'s 1001, 1002, 1003. And the data in the service history file looks like:
    BED 1001 01/15/1991
    BED 1002 03/15/1992
    BED 1002 12/15/1995
    BED 1003 06/15/1990
    BED 1003 05/15/1992
    BED 1003 07/15/1993
    BED 1003 06/15/1994

    The number of hits for calculation purposes is:
    0 for 1001
    1 for 1002
    3 for 1003

    The first hit doesn't count. It is the starting point for calculating the mean time between repairs. So BED 1001 has no time between repairs and hence no count. BED 1002 has a TBR of 3 years 9 months or approximately 1300 days. BED 1003 has TBR of 700 + 425 + 335 = 1460 days. So 1460+1300 divided by 4 hits is 690 days = MTBR.

    The data is in class, control, date order.

    Stores data in class file fields st4=#repairs, lv4=MTBR.

    Metering  (top)

    Path:
    Look up Tables > Classification > Page 2

    Overview:
    Metering is used in conjunction with the Classification file. This section gives an overview of this process.

    mPro3 allows you to define up to 2 parameters for metering based on equipment classifications.
    Each parameter has 2 items: Parameter name and cycle value.

    mPro3 assumes that you manually collect meter readings and then enter those into mPro3.

    mPro3 then compares the meter readings to the equipment records last meter readings.

    If the last meter reading + the cycle value is greater than current meter reading, mPro3 makes a notation on the equipment record that a Preventive Maintenance inspection is needed.

    When you're finished entering all meter readings into mPro3, start the create inspection process.

    Process Flow:
    For example:

    Dialysis Machines generally have a Minor and Major PM.
    We enter an Equipment Classification of DIALYSIS MACHINE with the following parameters.

    Parameter/Reading name/type Cycle
    1000 hr Minor PM 1000
    3000 hr Major PM 3000

    Next, add 2 inspections checks.
    Note: mPro3 shows fixed interval options when adding these checks.

    For the 1st parameter we would add a Monthly check.
    For the 2nd parameter we would add an Annual check.

    This is just so that mPro3 knows which check goes with which parameter.
    It does not effect when inspections are created.

    Then we enter the Dialysis equipment items. For each equipment item we need to set the current last meter reading when the Minor and Major PM's occurred.

    Each week manually visit each machine and record the current meter reading.
    Back in mPro3, enter those meter readings.

    If any PM's are needed, a message will display and then Create and then Print inspections in mPro3.

    Next Inspection Date Utility  (top)

    Under special utilities set next inspection date is a note that reads
    (run after the 22nd only).

    If you run it before the 22nd, monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, yearly pm's that came out in march that now have future dates, the next inspection date will be reset to march 04.

    For example. Let's say you had a pump that has a semi-annual inspection due in March and September, When you create the PM's for march, the pm comes the next inspection date will get set to September 15, 2004 (or something close to that). If you run this utility it would set it back to march 15, 2004.

    The reason for this is that we generally set the inspections to come out for the middle of the month. That's why we use week 3 for January instead week 1. That's because week 1 could be part of December.

    I know this is a bit confusing. Please call if you need further clarification.

    Note: You can sometimes get around this problem:
    Exit mPro3
    move the date ahead on your computer
    go back into mPro3 and run the utility
    exit mPro3
    reset your date

    You can only do this if the your computer allows you to reset the date.
    On some systems you can't.

    Order Status Codes   (top)

    Overview:
    The Order Status field is not used to determine if a work order is open or not. If the date completed field is filled in, then the work order is closed.

    ----------------------------------------

    Order Status contains pre-filled in choices available from the drop down list:
    Default 'Order Status Codes' (Hard Coded) are: ----------------------------------------

    You may define other Order Status codes by using Service Code number range of 1470 through 1489. These codes do the following:
    1. Display in Order Status drop down
    2. Add technician and date to Order Status
    3. Make entry in history, as all closings do
    4. QA Category for 1470 to 1489 are set to 1
    5. If site requires Order Status Codes not to be shown as Service Codes - There is a back door to prohibit use of code 1470 through 1489 as Service Codes so they display as Order Status options but cannot be used as Service Codes. (pgrm note: set qa to 99)
    ----------------------------------------

    Parts Service codes that keep Order Status as open:
    Service Codes 672 (Awaiting Parts) OR 1426 (Parts Ordered)
      If a work order is closed with codes 672 or 1426, the status on the work order will be changed to 'PARTS ORDERED, EMPLOYEE, DATE' and the order will remain Open. i.e. Change the 'Date Completed' to blank. The system is set up this way.

      If you don't do business in this fashion, you can delete 672 and/or 1426 service codes and create ones in the 9000 series.
    ----------------------------------------

    Special case:
    Scripps Biomed close with 1900 keeps pm open

    ----------------------------------------

    Setup Flags that keep Order Status as open:
    1. F034 If close with 1662,1700, 1701, 1708 keep inspt. open. See F113 for 2nd and subsequent closings override 1st closing
    2. When an inspection is closed and Setup Flag of F034 is active the system will change the Order Status to 'Open-tried to inspect', change the 'Date completed' to blank and update the QA category of the Work Order to 7 (Incomplete Inspection).

    3. F113 Subsequent closings on PMs override initial service code / QA category on work order. F034 must be set as well.

    Update qty received - Used to record parts received. Updates average cost, average cost date, stock, and on order fields.
    Average cost calculated as follows:
    (stock*avg cost)+(qty received*1st vendor cost) is divided by the sum of stock & qty received.

    THE FREE INDEX AND REFERENCE FIELDS
    The use for the free and reference fields can be decided by the user, but it is important to use a standard form of entry in all records. It is not necessary to use the free index or reference until a need becomes apparent. The Free Index is a 12 character indexed field. It is included in listing and searching routines, so it is best to use it for information that will need to be searched. Complete this section when decisions have been made:

    Path:
    Phone Menu > Closings and Post

    Overview:
    (STM and Reading only)
    The closing and post option is used for editing and posting only.

    What is the difference between closing and posting?
    The closing programs allow for more than one person to add & close work orders at the same time. When you close, the information entered on this screen is stored in a file. When you post the data is stored to the database.

    Why is closing separate from posting?
    Closing is done separate from posting to give management the ability to review data prior to being posted to the database. This ensures data integrity. Once a record is posted the data cannot be corrected. You must use the unclose option.

    When should I Post?
    At the end of the day (or any time), this data must be "posted" to the database. This should be done about once a day. "Posting" is a disk intensive operation and we recommend that no additional closings should be done while posting.

    How do I verify a close order is posted?
    In the Main mPro3 system (not Phone) Go to the 'Closing And Post' option; Select the Posted radio button; Click Find; View the status field, “P” means posted.
    You may also run a display data off the closing file using the status field.

    Flags and Security Settings:
    If a user has the 'User Security Setting' (on the closing file) of 5 or 6 OR the flag (F028) is On, the record will automatically post.

    Access 5: The system automatically posts the users closings, in addition user has the ability to post other users closings by displaying the 'Post' push-button in the 'Closing And Post' option. Wherever the post push-button appears, the system will post all records. User cannot post individual closings.

    Access 6: The system automatically posts the users closings. Applies to that employee only.
    Note: The post push-button still appears for clients who use Phones.

    Phone New Repair Order  (top)

    Path:
    Phone Menu > New Repair Order

    Overview:
    mPro3 accesses the work order database, which contains work orders for both repairs and inspections.

    Repair orders are created on demand as necessary, while Inspection orders are created based on a preset schedule. Refer to Inspections, Scheduling, and Creating Inspections sections.

    Repairs can be created for equipment, areas/fixtures that have been added to the appropriate DATA files. Because the items are in a file, some of the information on the screen will automatically be filled in for you. You may override, where applicable. If you need to enter a repair for equipment, fixture, or area that has not been entered into the appropriate DATA files, you must first add those items before you can proceed. Refer to sections on DATA, CLASSIFICATIONS, EQUIPMENT, and AREAS.

    There are two steps in generating a repair. The repair is first created, then printed.

    You may create a repair for a piece of equipment, an area, or a fixture. You may create a regular repair, a blanket repair (a repair that is open indefinitely), or a project repair (a repair that is attached to a project).

    Process Flow / Field Descriptions:

    Refrigerant Management  (top)

    EPA requirements in brief:

    The EPA requires a detailed list of refrigerant purchased, consumed, disposed of and reclaimed.
    An accurate equipment list with model, serial#, manufacturer, capacity, leak%, and type of refrigerant.
    Technicians servicing said equipment must be certified.
    Analysis of equipment and how and when it will be disposed of, converted, and/or replaced as current refrigerants become unavailable and substitutes used.

    Adding parts
    It is recommended that you enter each type of refrigerant as a unique part#.
    Example: CFC-11
    Set the Type = 3 for refrigerant
    The P.I.(physical inventory) field in the parts file is the fiscal year beginning stock.

    The Stock field is the current inventory level.

    Purchasing
    EPA requires a detailed list of refrigerant purchased, consumed, disposed of and reclaimed. You can do this manually but it is recommended that you use the purchase order system.
    Even if you do not want to write a PO for each order, at least one PO for each type of refrigerant must be written.

    In the purchase order item file, enter items to be ordered.
    Use the receive program to handle receipts.
    Optionally note cylinder in the notes field.

    Disposed/Lost/Reclaimed The PO will have the refrigerant items and vendor.
    Disposed/lost/reclaimed information get entered in the purchase order item file as well.

    Use transactions types (Trx type):
    4=disposed
    5=reclaimed
    6=lost/vented

    Adding Equipment Classifications
    Add classifications for chillers, and other equipment where you must keep track of refrigerant usage.
    Put "UR" (utility refrigerant) for the class type.

    The following prompts should be entered:
    Charge size (lbs)
    Lubricant
    The equipment file already has fields for:
    Capacity
    Leakage %
    Time Frame
    Type
    YTD (year to date usage)
    Part#

    Small appliance refrigerant and recovery equipment classes must also be added.

    Enter inspections procedures as required/desired.

    Adding Equipment
    Chillers, etc. must be added to the equipment file as individual pieces of equipment with control#/asset#, model, serial, and manufacturer code. Fill in the charge size, etc prompts and the special prompts.

    Small appliance's do not need to be individual entered (EPA) but it is recommended. If you do not enter each individual control# then enter the class key for the control#.

    Recovery equipment must be entered individually.

    For all equipment, put in the refrigerant max. hold(capacity),
    part#, and leakage % on window.

    Note: the leak % is usually 15% for charge size 50lbs

    Inspections
    Record all service using the regular closing programs.
    Record refrigerant used/parts as usual.

    Repairs
    Record all service using the regular closing programs.
    Record refrigerant used/parts as usual.

    Additional closing information:
    You need to enter information into the PO/Line items transaction screen for vented/lost/reclaimed activity.
    You should have already established a PO for each type of refrigerant.

    Reporting
    Refrigerant Equipment: use equipment lists specify CLSTYPE=UR to URZ

    Service history:
    Equipment file and service history under LISTS has an option to list refrigerant parameters.

    Usage report:
    run service history by part# for parttype=3 and other parameters as needed

    Refrigerant report:
    Under Special Reports. This report is a complete analysis: purchased, consumed, disposed of, reclaimed, lost.
    The P.I. (physical inventory) field in the parts file is the fiscal year beginning stock. The Stock field is the current inventory level.

    Equipment Leakage Report:
    under Lists,
    Run the Equipment file and service history list.
    Put in class type "URL" Recommend that you put in with page breaks Select 1=with refrigerant info (fancy) Print in any order you choose. Not a fast report however.

    Service codes to add: (some may be in your system already)
    Leak tested
    Leak found
    Leak isolated
    Vented
    Conversion
    Upgrade

    In the setup file, set the refrigerant flag to True.

    In the purchase order transaction file you can make entries for refrigerant transactions.

    0=ordered
    1=receipt
    2=issue
    3=return
    4=disposed
    5=reclaimed
    6=lost
    7=adjust+
    8=adjust-

    When closing repairs or inspections, if you enter a refrigerant part# and quantity, the system automatically checks the equipment file for the part# and setup (flag to update YTD ref). Then a test is performed to see if leakage has exceeded parameter. If it has, a message asking you to issue a repair work order is given. In addition the equipment class type is changed to URL (utility, refrigerant, leakage exceeded). This has to changed back manually after a repair has been completed.

    Leakage test (when closing repairs or inspections)
    If the Year to date refrigerant usage (in the equipment file) is greater than the (capacity in tons * 2000 * leak%) a message "MAX % REACHED-ISSUE A REPAIR-RETURN" when closing a work order.

    Equipment file refrigerant fields:
    refmaxhold - refrigerant maximum hold (capacity)
    percentlk - percentage of leakage allowed in one year
    timeframe - not used at this time (user defined)
    reftype - not used at this time (user defined)
    refytd - the year to date value of refrigerant used
    refpart - the part#

    e. Repairs > New Repair Order

    Overview:
    This program accesses the work order database, which contains work orders for both repairs and inspections.

    Repair orders are created on demand as necessary, while Inspection orders are created based on a preset schedule. Refer to Inspections, Scheduling, and Creating Inspections sections.

    Repairs can be created for equipment, areas/ fixtures that have been added to the appropriate DATA files. Because the items are in a file, some of the information on the screen will be filled in for you. You may override, where applicable. If you need to enter a repair for equipment, fixture, or area that has not been entered into the appropriate DATA files, you must first add those items before you can proceed. Refer to sections on CLASSIFICATIONS, EQUIPMENT, and AREAS.

    There are two steps in generating a repair. The repair is first created, then printed. You may create a repair for a piece of equipment, an area, or a fixture. You may create a regular repair, a blanket repair (a repair that is open indefinitely), or a project repair (a repair that is attached to a project).

    Path:
    Accountability Reports > Repair Quality Assurance

    Overview:
    This report produces gross number or hour productivity for technicians, trades, cost center, and classifications for all unscheduled work categories over a time period (usually a month).

    Note: The gross number report will only count a work order with a repair code as the first closing statement. The hour report will count all time for all closing statements that fall into the appropriate categories. The technician equipment repair average is based on all repair hours even if that repair was done on an inspection. Because of this you may have a report with no equipment repairs but then have a second report with some hours. This sometimes makes trade averages look incorrect.

    Downtime added see section in this manual.

    Repair Turnaround Report  (top)

    Path:
    Accountability Reports > Repair Turnaround

    Overview:
    This report shows the number of completed repairs and completion percentage within a specified period either by cost center, trade, employee, class, or department.
    1. There are 4 options for different time frames.
      1. less than 48 hours, 2-7 days, 8-30 days, 31 + days
      2. <4 hours, <24 hours, <48 hours, 2-7 days, 8-30 days, 31 + days
      3. less than 48 hours
      4. less than 48 hours, 2-7 days
    2. There are 3 options for QA categories:
    3. For QA Categories and Related service code details, see QA Categories section of this manual.
      1. Repair QA categories (2,3,5,9,11,13)
      2. Repair QA Categories (above) and (1,10,12,and 14-16)
      3. Inspections
    Note: Percentage is cut-off downward and can be calculated manually.
    Note: Data comes from the Work Order file, Open orders excluded from report.
    Note: orders with exact start and end time counted in 1st column. No blanket or order types>4

    Example:
    A cost center may have 15 requests for repairs within a month. Let's say 12 repairs are completed within 24 hours and 3 repairs are completed within 2-7 days. When you run the report for this cost center, under the <48 hours you should see 12 repairs with 80% completion rate and 2-7 days with 3 repairs of 20%.

    Repairs - General Information  (top)

    Naming Convention:
    A Repair Order may also be referred to as an Order / Work Order / Repair Order / Service Request / - - - - and in rare, rare cases Inspection Order (which is incorrect).

    The major distinction between a Repair Order and an Inspection Order is the QA category assigned.

    Inspection Orders are generally created by the system via the 'Create Area Inspections' or 'Create Equipment Inspections' options.

    ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------

    Open / Close / Add & Close - Options Available:

    OPEN WORK ORDERS - There are several places in the system where you can open a Work order. See 'Repair Orders' section for more details.

    CLOSING WORK ORDERS -There are several places in the system where you can close a Work order. See 'Closing Work Orders' section for more details

    CLOSINGS AND POST - The closing and post option is used for editing and posting only. See the 'Closing and Posts' section for more details.

    ADD AND CLOSE ORDERS - This option gives a fast way to add & close work orders for work completed for which no work order was assigned. See the 'Add and Close Orders' section of this manual for Menu paths and detailed field information.

    ADD AND CLOSE VENDOR ORDERS - This option gives a fast way to add & close work orders for VENDOR work completed for which no work order was assigned. See 'Add and Close Vendor Orders' section for Menu paths and detailed field information.

    ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------

    Closing And Posting:

    Make sure you read the section on Closings and Post, this will address any unnecessary confusion.

    Reports:

    REPAIR REPORTS
    The Repair Report provides a listing of open work orders. It is in effect, a work order aging sheet. You can also print a report of closed work orders or open and closed combined. See 'Repair Reports' section for more details.

    MONTHLY REPORT
    Monthly Reports should be run at the end of each month after closings have been completed or within the first few days of the following month before new closings are made. See 'Monthly Report' section for more details.

    Charge Back Report:
    The Charge Back Monthly report prints a summary for each department, a summary for the facility with one line per department.

    Safety Report:
    This report summarizes work orders completed for the specified parameters and prints a one page summary for the categories "Scheduled maintenance", "Repair Service Orders", and "Other Work".

    ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------

    Printer Set Up:
    Work orders are accessed by a link on the page and displayed in html format.
    There you can set your print and change any print settings.

    Repeat Repair Report  (top)

    Path:
    Accountability Reports > Repeat Repair

    Overview:
    This report lists equipment by control # (and work order #'s) with more than one service call in a given time period.

    In general, this is only used for Biomed.
    There are 2 main reasons you have repeat repairs.
    1. Equipment needs more frequent PMs, that's why it is breaking down. If it's not scheduled the number of PMs can't be increased, so why report it.
    2. Technician or Vendor may not have repaired effectively the 1st time.
    This report uses the work order file and excludes inspections and equipment not scheduled for inspection.

    Report excludes equipment not scheduled for inspections because there is a lot of equipment that breaks often in a hospital. i.e. all the scopes.
    Normally sites don't want to report because predominantly this equipment is not scheduled for PM because they are inspected by the user before use.

    Field Descriptions:
    DATE - Enter the beginning and end date of the query.
    FACILITY - Enter the range for the Facilities.
    TRADE - Enter the range for the Trade.
    REPEATS ARE - The user can define what a Repeat Repair is by providing the frequency of repairs repeated in an interval of days.
    MAX DAYS - This field is used in conjunction with the Date Received Starting and Ending Range. The user has the opportunity to change the 'Max Days' field or the Date Received range. This parameter allows the user to verify a large date range prior to running the report.

    Reports Overview - Differences In Some Monthly Report Counts  (top)

    Overview:
    This section explains differences in figures between some monthly reports.

    MONTHLY REPORT -CHARGE BACK REPORT
    This report counts inspections (scheduled) and repairs (unscheduled) created and completed in the specified period. The report tells you nothing about work created in the period and finished after the period. Data comes from repair/inspection order file (WORKORD.DBF).

    Optionally, you may include work created before the period and finished in the period (prior period column on report) by setting the check box 'show prior period completed items (repairs & inspections completed in, but initiated before period)'.

    Note: Inspections closed using QA category incomplete are considered complete. This report only distinguishes open (never closed) items.

    Note: If you run the report by department (etc.), and the department has been recently deleted, the detail and subsequent summaries will not include that data.
    (See also: Monthly Report.)

    MONTHLY REPORT -SAFETY REPORT
    Same as above for CHARGE BACK report though both "Notes" do not apply. Data comes from repair/inspection order file (WORKORD.DBF).

    QUICK STATISTICS REPORT
    This report looks at all work completed in period regardless of when it was created. Breaks down into 2 columns Life-Safety (this means the field CLSTYPE is an "L" or "LS") or non-Life-Safety. Data comes from repair/inspection order file (WORKORD.DBF).

    Note: Inspections closed using QA category incomplete are considered complete. This report only distinguishes open (never closed) items.

    ACCOUNTABILITY REPORTS
    This reports ignores anything still open (never closed). QA categories (and to a much lesser extent some service codes) are very important here. Data comes from service history file (SERVHIST.DBF).

    Request Codes  (top)

    Path:
    a. Look up Tables > Request Codes
    b. New > Request Codes

    Overview:
    Request codes are used when entering repairs.

    The purpose of this file is to speed data entry for similar service requests.

    Request Codes also assist in creating reports for the same type of service.
    Example:
    When creating a work order a person may word a request as 'toilet clogged' -or- 'fix latrine' -or- 'bath room is flooded'.
    If management would like to see how many work orders were created for a particular type of request, it becomes a challenge to guess the repair order description. When a person uses a request code, you are able to create a report based on that Code.

    Miscellaneous
    The Service Codes etc. will appear on the closing screen for the first closing only.

    Process Flow:
    New Request Codes:
    Press "New" to add a new Request Code. Enter the appropriate fields, and press the "Save" push-button.

    Scheduling Overview  (top)

    Path:
    Inspections > Scheduling and Load Reports > Schedule Inspections

    Overview:
    Scheduling is the process that assigns an inspection week to a piece of equipment or an area. Inspections are created based on the cycle week, and intervals from the Inspection Check Procedures file.

    Before inspections can be scheduled, areas, and equipment, and their respective classes and inspection procedures must be entered.

    - Classes are entered in the CLASSIFICATIONS file (See 'Classification Types Area/Equipment' for detailed information).
    - For each class an Inspection procedure (checks) are entered in the Inspection Check file (See 'Inspection Checks' section for detailed information).
    - For each procedure, the inspection interval is entered.
    - For each trade entered for a particular class, at least one check for that trade, must be entered if you want to schedule items in that class for that trade.

    WEEK OF GREATEST INSPECTION/CYCLE WEEK:
    When scheduling, the week of the year in which the first of these checks will be done will be entered. The first week in the inspection cycle will be referred to as the "cycle week", and should be the "week of greatest inspection". The "week of greatest inspection" refers to the week you schedule the "greatest inspection", e.g., quarterly, semi-annual, annual, bi-annual.

    From the 'Week Of Greatest Inspection/Cycle Week', all lesser inspections to be scheduled, will be distributed throughout the year based on the intervals in the inspection procedures file.

    Interval: 4 (Monthly): 08,12,16,21,25, etc.
    Interval: 13 (Quarterly): 17,30,43,04, etc.

    Scheduling can be done by control #, system, etc., or for an entire class at one time.

    When items are scheduled by class, the Week Of Greatest Inspection/Cycle Week entered will be applied to all areas or equipment in that class.

    When the classes are created, you are allowed to enter up to six trades for each class. Inspection procedures must be set up for each class, trade, and interval combination. Each trade must be scheduled separately. Each trade entered will receive a separate inspection work order when it is due.

    When items are scheduled individually, the week of greatest inspection must be entered for each item (see Schedule Inspections By Control#). This selection can be used to make a few items different after all items have been scheduled as a class or system. It can also be used to schedule items added after the class has been scheduled.

    Note: Most items are originally scheduled by class. When many items are scheduled individually, it is easy to miss an item.

    To verify all Areas or Equipment have been scheduled, run a Display Data listing on the Area or Equipment file.
    Equipment Example:
    1. Go to the menu Display data
    2. On the 'Display data - pick table' screen ---------------------- select EQUIPMENT and click continue.
    3. On the 'Display data - pick saved template' screen ------------ click the NEW ENTRY push-button.
    4. On the 'Display data - pick fields to Display' screen ----------- select control and cycle_week_1, then click continue.
    5. On the 'Display data - set order' screen ----------------------- Accept the defaults, then click continue.
    6. On the 'Display data - pick fields for Criteria' screen ---------- Accept the defaults, then click continue.
    7. On the 'Display data - set criteria' screen --------------------- Do the following for the field name equip__cycle_week_1
        a. operator   <
        b. value   1
        c. Click create report.

    The report will list all equipment where the cycle week is zero.

    Notes:
    Individual items can be checked by looking at scheduling section of the record.
    Verify the Inspection intervals are entered, if this item is to receive an inspection

    DESCHEDULING INSPECTIONS:
    Descheduling" is removing the entire schedule so that no inspections are created. This would make sense for items that are in storage, on loan, or no longer used.

    The 'Schedule Inspections' option may be used to deschedule items.
    To deschedule an item, enter "0" as the Cycle Week (Week of Greatest Inspection).

    The 'Equipment' and 'Areas' options may also be used to deschedule items.
    To deschedule an item, enter "0" in the Week column (Cycle week / Week of Greatest Inspection).
    Note: To find fields for Areas look under the 'Fixtures & Prompts, Trades heading'; Equipment look under the 'Scheduling' heading.

    OVERRIDE INSPECTIONS:
    A user may override equipment inspections up to two trades. See 'Equipment' section for further details.

    OTHER:
    Scheduling does not update the trade inspection work load hours. "Re-total trade hours" should be run periodically to get accurate load hours.

    Miscellaneous:
    Review the 'Calendar Weeks' section in this manual for week standards.

    Search Tool  (top)

    Path:
    Located in the upper right hand corner of the screen, noted with the word 'Search...'.

    Overview:
    The Search Tool is on the mPro3 home page and allows a database search from one data field. It can be used with Files, Dates or Menu Jumps.

    This is beneficial because a user does not need to know how the program works to get the data and is a time saver.

    Service Codes   (top)

    Path:
    Look up Tables > Service Code
    Lists > Service Code Listing

    Overview:
    Service codes are used to describe the work completed when closing an order. Service codes can be verbs (action words), nouns, or service statements (a combination of verb(s) and noun(s)). Service codes are strung together to make up "service statements" that will display in the service history file. You can enter any service code in the 9000-9999 range. For reporting purposes, these codes will be considered repair codes.

    Service codes are used for reporting purposes in conjunction with QA Category codes.

    Miscellaneous:
    QA Categories:
    'Order Status' Service Codes: ------------------------------------------
    'Update' Service Codes: Field Names:
    SERVICE CODE - 6 digits, Do not change the numbers already in use.

    NAME - Description statement, 30 characters or less.

    Service Code and QA Category List:
    ***********************************************************************
    *   WARNING!
    *   MANY REPORTS USE THESE SERVICE CODES FOR ANALYSIS.
    *    DO NOT CHANGE EXISTING CODES.
    ***********************************************************************

    All service codes should fit into the correct range, "verb" or "noun". This is necessary for proper calculations and reporting.

    Path:
    a. Service on the Quick Link, header menu
    b. Look up Tables > Service History

    Note: See Process Flow (below) to add a New Service History.

    Overview:
    Use to Add or Modify history.

    This option provides user with a list of service history based on selected search criteria. There are several 'Ordered By' selections available.
    Add Service History:
    User may add Service History but be aware, adding a new service history bypasses the work order process.

    Modify mis-entered history:
    A better method is to Unclose the work order (which fixes Year to date numbers etc.) and reclose the order.
    See Process section below for general guidelines.

    Miscellaneous:
    The date completed range is set for three years but may be changed.

    Process Flow:
    Find an individual control number:
    Enter the control number and the system will return all the history for that control number.
    Note: When a single control number is used all other fields are ignored.

    For all other searches you must fill in the date completed line.

    Add new Service History:
    Use the search criteria to find the Control / Record you wish to add service history to > Click '+ Edit' on your selected record > Click the New push-button > Enter the appropriate information > Press SAVE when complete.

    Note: Adding new service history bypasses the work order process, allowing the user to enter lines into history. Usually used to enter past history prior to purchase of mPro3.

    Service History General Information  (top)

    Overview:
    Service history records are added automatically by the system when you close & post an order.

    The Service History menu option allows user to Modify past history. New history is added by entering a closing against the work order.

    Service history may be added to the databases for services performed prior to converting to mPro3. In addition service history may be modified.
    Please be aware Adding new service in the 'Service History' file bypasses the work order process.

    mPRo3 does some very complicated things when showing service history so as to make it pretty.

    That is, if the employee is the same don't print it twice, etc.

    There are several program options available for use. Revised: 02/21/2018

    Shortcut Keys  (top)

    Shortcut Keys are actually links that will enable you to quickly access a page without having to return to the main menu.

    These links are displayed on the top right of most pages throughout mPro3. Some examples of the links are:
    Menu - will send you back to the main menu with the lists of pages.
    Logout - will log your user name off of mPro3, and redirect you back to the login screen.
    Close - will send you to the Close Orders screen.
    Equip - will redirect you to the equipment page.
    Service - will go to the Service History file.
    Repair - will take you to Repair/Inspection Orders page.

    ENTER KEY

    The Enter Key is a quick way to click on the first button shown on the screen or the Save Button for any form in mPro3 that displays the fields of a single record in any file.

    TAB KEY

    The Tab key will allow you to move through the form through each field. This will highlight any text box or button field. Note: If the Tab key is pressed and highlights a button and the Enter key is then pressed, Enter will now execute the button that was highlighted and no longer the Save button (if there is a Save button on the page). But if the focus is on a text box or any other field, by pressing Enter will execute Save button.

    If a record needs to be changed, there are field boxes before the drop-down fields to either enter a Service Code or the Name,
    which will result in any (and perhaps many) Service Codes that contain what was entered.

    Example: 1600 - will display "1600 - Safety"
    REP - will display the following list:
    "60 - Repaired"
    "61 - Replaced"

    Systems  (top)

    Overview:
    To allow the user to determine the cost of maintaining a particular group of equipment and/or fixtures there is a system file.

    The equipment, fixture and area files each prompt for "system". After the system has been added to the system file, it can be added to chosen records in the other files. All transactions involving equipment, fixtures, or areas that are made part of a system will be totaled in that system's record.

    Parking lots, for example, could be a system including lights, gates, and the areas "LOTA" and "LOTB".

    The following information will be needed to enter a system:

    System ______________

    Field Descriptions:
    SYSTEM - At least the first three letters must be the same as the general system description. Three letters of the general description followed by three letters to separate this system from similar classes is the suggested method. (i.e. "ELEEME" = ELEctrical, EMErgency.) It is necessary for sorting and searching to use a six letter key. For one word names drop the extra letters. (i.e. "HEATIN".)

    Use one common system for ALL key entries.

    If information is being gathered by other than data entry personnel, they may provide the name only, and a standard format for creating keys can be used at time of entry.

    NAME - 30 characters are available to describe the system.

    THE FOLLOWING FIELDS MAINTAINED BY THE MPRO3 SYSTEM:

    AVAILABLE HOURS - Accumulated as employees are added.

    SCHEDULED HOURS - Accumulated from weekly inspection work load. Weekly inspection work load is calculated by Re-total trade load hours under the inspection pull down. Run it once a month.

    The following fields are accumulated as repairs and inspections are closed.

    YTD REPAIR TIME - The total repair time for closed orders.

    YTD PROJECTED TIME - Each time a repair is entered into the system, you are prompted for a projected repair time (the default value is in the setup file)
    Subtract current load time from this field and then compare to YTD repair time.

    CURRENT REPAIR LOAD - Updated by new repair orders and all closing programs. This is a projected time of what repair work still needs to be done. Current repair load may be re-totaled using selection under repair pull down.

    YTD INSPECTION TIME - Total inspection time for closed orders.

    YTD LABOR CHARGE $ - Total dollars charged.

    Unclose Work Order  (top)

    Path:
    a. Click Close on the quick links toolbar
    b. Closings > Close Orders

    Overview:
    The unclose function applies to 'Posted' repair or inspection orders.

    When a Work Order is closed with incorrect/incomplete information e.g. Incorrect Close Date, time, employee etc., the easiest and most complete way of reversing the transaction is to use the 'Quick Unclose' function.

    There are manual ways of reversing closings entries, but since several files may be updated the most complete reversal method is to use 'Quick Unclose'.

    With Quick Unclose - various fields do not get reset, such as the Employee and Trade in the work order file. These need to be manually reset if needed.

    When a work order has multiple service histories select the entries to be processed. The work order will remain closed. If appropriate, you may manually change the status of the work order back to Open.

    If you need to change notes or add an attachment to a service history, you may go directly to the service history file and make these changes. These two types of changes do not affect any other files.

    Process Flow:
      To Unclose a work order
    1. Click 'Close' on the quick links toolbar
    2. Enter the order number
    3. Click the 'Unclose' check box
    4. Click Continue
    5. Check mark the entries to unclose
    6. Click Confirm Unclose push-button - The system will respond 'nn records unclosed' with notation of Order Status.

      To reverse an Unclose
    1. Reactivate the Service History and
    2. In the work order file enter the close date and update the status
    3. Update any other applicable fields

    4. Note: Instead of the above (Reverse an unclose), you may want to re-enter the closing to bring forward the labor charges etc.

    Utility System Failure   (top)

    The steps that need documentation are.
    1. Inspect/analyze and identify failure
    2. Repair
    3. Report back
    4. Inspect/analyze again
    5.Report back

    You can do all of these by using existing service codes when closing a work order. For example:

    1. use code 1900 to record a failure on inspection (or specific procedure failure corresponds to procedure on form - if procedure number 2 fails, put in 1902)

    2. use repair code say 61 (replaced) 102 (alarm)

    3. use code 1606 to record inspection complete

    If you wish to record this by class, close the class work order as well.

    You can also add this system to the system file if there are multiple components. Then you can bring out all service history for all equipment file components (make sure you put the system key in the equipment file).

    Work Statistics Report  (top)

    Path:
    Special Reports > Work Statistics

    Overview:
    The Work Statistics report is generally used to see if you have completed PMs/Inspection in a given period EVEN IF THEY WERE DONE LATE. This report may be run in the future. It counts work completed in the future (Excludes QA category 8).

    A benefit of this report is that you can pick up to five columns of data.

    The report data comes from the work order file.

    This report is generated by date received/initiated only. This is different than most reports that look at date completed. In this way you can run a report showing work completed for a given month, regardless of when it was completed.

    This means you can run this several months in the future on a long past month and see what was completed.

    Example:
    Many facilities use the 'class type' field from the classification file to distinguish various types of equipment.
    This is a user defined field, although most facilities use the following:
    Many facilities use the "risk" field. 1-5 are common risk categories.

    One or both of these fields are used in your "Risk Based" categorization of equipment.

    Issue 1a:  (top)
    In the 'Equipment file' I set 'Max Records to find:' to 9999999. This way the system will return all records, but I get a Time Out error, why?

    Resolution:
    The system is not designed to return 'all' records in large databases. Refine your search criteria and try again.
    Run an equipment listing instead.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Issue 1b:  (top)
    I have Equipment information that I would like to track and search but I don't see a field that fits what I need.

    Resolution:
    In the Equipment File use the FREE INDEX. This field has no assigned purpose and can be decided by the user. It is important to use a standard form of entry for all records.
    12 characters are available.

    You can also specify up to 12 special fields in the class file. See the section Prompts.
    You can create labels here for the specific class and then in the equipment file put the responses to those labels.
    These fields are only searchable in display data however.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Issue 1c:  (top)
    Is mPro3 capable of flagging or notifying us when the equipment warranty expires?

    Resolution:
    Yes...
    When you create inspections, check mark the 'Create warranty inspections for range' check box, then enter a date range. The system will create an inspection for the equipment where the warranty expires within the date range specified.

    The services requested field will display 'Warranty Inspection', with a default service code of 1607 - Warranty Inspection.

    Note: Warranty date needs to be filled out in the Equipment file.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Issue 1d:  (top)
    Is it suggested to give loaner equipment a control number?

    Resolution:
    Yes...
    Several users use the prefix of L, followed by the date, and numbers going up from there.
    Example: L050310100 (Lmmddyynnn)

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Issue 1e:  (top)
    When saving equipment changes, I get the message 'Warning! Equipment not saved! No Procedure/Interval'. How do I resolve this error?

    Resolution:
    This issue occurs because the equipment is scheduled (Cycle week is defined) with no corresponding Inspection Check.
  • If equipment should be inspected, create or reactivate the check.
  • If equipment should NOT be inspected, Go to 'Schedule Inspection by Control #' and set the cycle week to zero.

    Notes:
    This mostly occurs when the inspection check is inactivated/deleted in error or equipment is no longer to be inspected and user forgot to unschedule the associated equipment.
    When PMs are created the system will create a PM with the message 'Inspection Interval Missing though equipment has a cycle week'.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Issue 1f:  (top)
    I want to create a list of all control numbers starting with IS.

    Resolution:
    The control number field is "Right Justified" with a total of 12 alpha/numeric characters that can be defined.
    Because the field is right justified, on an equipment list, all control numbers with a length of 6 alpha/numeric characters appear first, then the ones with 7, 8 etc.

    Example data: IS001, IS999, ISA01, ISA10

    Issue 3e:  (top)
    How do I process my 'Not Located' Equipment PMs?

    Resolution:
    Each site has their own internal procedures on how to handle Equipment not Located.
    Please refer to 'Your' internal documented procedure.

    Below is an example of one sites internal procedure.
    a. Perform PM’s and finish by end of 3rd week of the month.
    b. On the 4th week verify if you can find any missing equipment.
    c. For located equipment perform the inspection and close the work order.
    d. For equipment still not located, go to Department Manager and ask them if they know where the equipment is.

    A big challenge is mobile equipment, to handle this the example site does the following.
    a. The site does all IV pumps in 1 month.
    b. They place a visible sticker (inspection dots) on the front of the equipment. The color of the dot notes the Month Year for next inspection.
    c. Every 3 months they rotate the color.

    If the equipment is still not located:
    a. Close the work order with QA category 7 (Incomplete Inspection) and Service code of 1700 (Equipment not Located).
    b. For mobile equipment, Send an email and ask Nurses and/or Managers to look at stickers and if earlier than current month call Clinical Engineering/Biomed
    c. Once a Quarter run the Equipment to Be Archived Report. This report will show work orders closed with QA category 7.
    d. If the report looks good, run it again and check the box 'ARCHIVE NOW'.
    e. Send the report to requesting department(s).

    Note:
    See the 'Key to report calculations by line' in the 'Monthly Report - Safety Report' section in this manual.
    The section gives details on how the Monthly Report presents this information.
    In addition, be aware of setup flag F034 - You may want to change this setting.

    Issue 3f:  (top)
    When do I use a worksheet vs. a PM form, when I print Inspections?

    Resolution:
    Generally engineers print forms 'except' for beds, fire doors, exit lights. It depends on how your facility does business.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Issue 3g:  (top)
    How do I verify all Equipment/Areas have been scheduled?

    To verify all Areas or Equipment have been scheduled, run a Display Data listing on the Area or Equipment file.
    Equipment Example:
    1. Go to the menu Display data
    2. On the 'Display data - pick table' screen ---------------------- select EQUIPMENT and click continue.
    3. On the 'Display data - pick saved template' screen ------------ click the NEW ENTRY push-button.
    4. On the 'Display data - pick fields to Display' screen ----------- select control and cycle_week_1, then click continue.
    5. On the 'Display data - set order' screen ----------------------- Accept the defaults, then click continue.
    6. On the 'Display data - pick fields for Criteria' screen ---------- Accept the defaults, then click continue.
    7. On the 'Display data - set criteria' screen --------------------- Do the following for the field named 'equip__cycle_week_1'
        a. operator   <
        b. value   1
        c. Click create report.

    The report will list all equipment where the cycle week is zero.

    Notes:
    Individual items can be checked by looking at scheduling section of the record.
    Verify the Inspection intervals are entered, if this item is to receive an inspection.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Issue 3h:  (top)
    I have multiple PMs that have 'Inspection Interval Missing though equipment has a cycle week' in the Services Requested field, what do I do?

    Resolution:
    Inspections are created for equipment or areas that have a cycle week (in the area or equipment file) but have no intervals defined (inspection checks).
    These PMs alert the administrator that this scenario has occurred and action needs to be taken.

    When this scenario exists, a pm is created for each week of the given month. The services requested field has the text 'Inspection Interval Missing though equipment has a cycle week'.

    To correct this:
    Identify the work orders created by running an Inspection report:
    Inspections > Inspection Reports> select the Report Type of Inspection_Worksheet_Equipment > Open the Excel > look in column - - i1 - - for zeros. Write those order numbers down. These are the orders to be reviewed. You will need to look at the control number or area files.
    Verify if the Equipment or Area need to be inspected and do the following:
      Equipment or Area 'Does' need to be inspected.
    1. Go to the Inspection Checks file and define the interval.
    2. Delete the extraneous work orders.
    3. If applicable, Recreate the inspections by the control number or area.
      Equipment or Area 'Does NOT' need to be inspected.
    1. If the equipment no longer exists, deleted the equipment.
    2. If the equipment exists but no longer needs to be inspected, change the cycle week to Zero using the 'Schedule Equipment by Control' menu option. Set the cycle week to zero.
      Note: You may have to do this via the 'Schedule Inspections by Control' menu option. Be very careful when using this option.
    3. Delete the open orders. To find the orders, go to the equipment or area file and click on the Open Orders push-button. Verify you are deleting the correct work order. If you have a list of work orders you can also delete via 'Remove Work Orders' in the Utilities menu.
    4. If the equipment no longer exists, delete the equipment.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Issue 3i:  (top)
    I can't get an inspection to create, what are the minimum requirements?

    Resolution:
    1. Verify, the Equipment or Area is attached to a class.
    2. Verify, the class file has a Trade defined. - Generally this is what is missing.
    3. Verify, inspection checks are created and are active in the checks file.
    4. Verify, a cycle week is defined in the Equipment or Area file.

    If all the above are present, verify the inspection should be produced for the weeks you are creating inspections.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Issue 3j:  (top)
    How do I process (close) an Inspection that goes to a vendor/outside contractor for repair?

    Resolution:
    1. Do a closing using code 1648 'Out for Repair - Completed PM' - and use the status 'Out for Repair'
      • You might put something in the notes saying: Sent to vendor, shipping or pick up details etc. To use for your internal tracking.
      • This entry will provide tracking in the service history.
    2. When the Equipment is returned close the PM as normal.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Issue 3k: (top)
    How do I setup an inspection that goes to a vendor/outside contractor?

    Resolution:
      Follow your own internal procedures.
    1. Create a Trade (If there is not already one) for OUTCON, which means Outside Contractor.
    2. In the class file, trade section add the trade of OUTCON
    3. Create an Inspection Check - Define the trade as OUTCON
    4. Schedule the equipment as you normally do.
      If an Employee manages the work order:
    1. You can assign work order to an employee their responsible for calling setting appointment and any follow up.
    2. When the employee closes the work order In the upper section, they enter the service code and in the lower section enter the Vendor information
    Note: Flag F021 PUT TRADE OUTCON
    This will put 'OUTCON' in the trade field of a work order if a vendor has done the work. Stands for Outside Contractor

    This only affects closings for pm’s created this day forward.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Issue 3n: (top)
    How do I process a Repair after a PM failed?

    Resolution:
    This is the procedure that is used at a couple of sites.
    They do this procedure because the repair may sometimes stay open past the end of the month and they want to close the order out.
    We suggest you create your own operating procedures and document.
    1. Open a new repair order. Note in the service request the repair that needs to be done and that an inspection needs to be done.

    2. Close the PM as failed and note the Repair Order #.

    3. Close the repair out when completed.

    4. Then close the repair out again saying the inspection is completed.

    5. Do not close repair and inspection on same screen.

    Notes:
    Some sites have a supervisor review printed completed repairs and checks the service history listed to make sure that a PM has been done.
    Other sites rely on the staff to do their work correctly.

    There are other sites - if they are performing the repair immediately or very quickly, they just use the same failed PM work order for:
  • the failure
  • the repair
  • the completed PM

    Issue 3o: (top)
    I want a procedure (same trade) to happen once a year on the same class but want a different procedure to happen once a year.

    Resolution:
    This type of scenario is applicable when a site has a combo furnace/air conditioner.
    Depending on the season -- turn off heat switch/turn on cool switch or turn off cool switch/turn on heat switch.
    1. Create two weekly procedures and set the start and end week to the week you want the procedure:
        Example:
      • 1st procedure, Create a weekly check > Set the Start and Ending weeks for week 26 > Enter procedure: turn off heat switch/turn on cool switch
      • 2nd procedure, Create a weekly check > Set the Start and Ending weeks for week 40 > Enter procedure: turn off cool switch/turn on heat switch
      • Verify you have scheduled a cycle week in the Equipment file.
    2. You can verify the entries by looking at the 'Equipment Inspection Load Report'.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Issue 3p: (top)
    How do I get the total number of pieces of equipment due for inspection?

    Resolution:

    How do I process an 'Equipment in Storage' PM (1428/1703)?

    Resolution:
    When processing an inspection and you determine the unit is in storage -or- you are going to move the unit to storage, you may:
    Close the PM with the Administrative Service Code 1428 'Moved To Storage'.
    This action will change Work Order from the PM QA Category to an Administrative QA Category.

    Or, you may opt to use Service Code of 1703 'Equipment in Storage during PM (Not Life Support)'.
    This is for customers who want the total inspections generated at the beginning of the month to match those at the end of the month.

      2. In the lower left hand corner of screen click the text 'Expand All'
      3. On the Internet Explorer toolbar - Click Edit > Select 'Find on this Page' > in the Find dialog box enter the word Password and press the 'Enter key'. Continue pressing the enter key to see any other instances of the word.
        Note 1: Click on the menu item when you have found the one you want.
        Note 2: Click Collapse All - to return the menus to their unexpanded view.

      Example B - I want to find the 'Reference' field on the equipment show screen.
      1. Go to Equipment enter a control number and press enter
      2. Click the +/edit on the select screen
      3. You are now at the Equipment show screen (showing all the data in the record).
      4. On the Internet Explorer toolbar - Click Edit > Select 'Find on this Page' > in the Find dialog box enter the word Reference and press the 'Enter key'.
