The Admin, Utilization menu option allows users to have a quick view of their Facility's report activity.
A Facility is a business with a contract to use Clinician and it can be associated with one or more Sponsors. An example of a Facility is a physician practice.
Sponsors are medical labs and IDNs (Integrated Delivery Networks) that send electronic reports to Facilities using Clinician.
The minimum required field to generate a utilization
report is From Date. The small icon next to the date fields 
opens a calendar where you can choose a date to search on.
The following table describes in detail all the search fields used to generate a Utilization Report.
| Field | Description |
| Facility | The Facility field is as a drop-down list and it defaults to the logged in Facility. |
| Sponsor | The Sponsor is the Hospital or Laboratory that
sends electronic reports to your Facility or Physician practice.
This field is a drop-down list of sponsors associated with the selected Facility that assign Client IDs to it. |
| Receiving Caregiver | This field is enabled only if a Sponsor and a Facility are selected. There is no default value and it is not a required field. The drop-down list contains all the available receiving caregivers for the selected Facility - Sponsor combination. |
| From Date - To Date | Data range field. From Date is a required field. |
| Report Type | There is no default for this field and it is not required.
If you select a Report Type from the drop down list, then the results will be limited to only that report type. If you leave the Report Type blank, and Detailed By Report Type unchecked, the results will show a list of reports with the Report Type column blank. |
| Detailed By Report Type | If Report Type is blank, then this field is
enabled. Otherwise it is disabled.
If you check this field, the results will show a breakdown of the totals by Report Type. |
| Use Column Headers | Selecting this option will print headers of the results list when forwarding or saving it as a file. |
To Generate a Utilization Report
To generate a report, enter your search criteria and click the Search button.
A Utilization Report matching your criteria appears as shown on the next sample illustration:
Reports Delivered indicates the number of reports that were sent to the Facility by the sponsor.
Reports Forwarded indicates the number of reports that have been forwarded from the user's Facility.
Standard Orders and PSC Orders indicate the number of standard and PSC orders created on a given day.
PSC orders are Inactive or Future orders. For more information on Standard and PSC orders see: Creating Orders
Result totals are hyperlinked to a screen showing the corresponding reports or orders. For instance, if you click on a Standard Orders link,
the Access Orders screen appears, allowing you to view, edit, delete, print or send any non-transmitted orders that appear listed on that screen.
Note: When viewing reports, you may notice a slight discrepancy between the number of reports delivered or viewed as indicated by the link and the actual number reports viewable by a user. This can be caused by a number of reasons, for instance, a partial result may have been replaced by a final result. In this case, the Utilization Report system would correctly count each instance as a separate result so the link will indicate that two (2) results have been received even though you will only see the final latest and greatest report from the viewer.
Utilization Reports can be Printed, Forwarded or Saved as a File.
To print the results list click the Print button.
To forward the results list to a caregiver click the Forward button.
To save the results list as a text file click the Save as a File button. When you click this button, the results appear on a separate browser window that can be viewed, saved and printed.
Click the Save as a File button. A browser window opens with a list of results.
From the browser menu select File and Save As.... A Save Web Page window appears.
Make sure the file is named with a .txt extension and that the Save as type field is set to Text File. This will allow MS Word or MS Excel to import the saved file.
When finished, close the browser window to return to the Utilization Report screen
