About Resolving Room Data Mapping Issues
When resolving a room data mapping issue from the Connect screen or the People Listing screen, the Resolve Room pop-up appears for you to resolve the mapping issue from the MealSuite Room drop-down.
The options from the MealSuite Room drop-down are as follows:
Mapping to an Existing Room or New Room
The following options are available from the MealSuite Room drop-down*:
- Map EHR room to existing room - from the drop-down, select an existing room in your account to map the EHR room to.
- Create New Room - you can create a new room in your account by selecting using the EHR data by selecting Create New Room. The new room is automatically entered into your facility builder hierarchy and automatically assigned to the resident/patient profile.
*A room can also include a bed assignment.
Note: You can always reverse a mapping option that you made above. To do so, see Remapping a Connect Mapping Relationship.
Ignore Room so as to Not Serve Food to Occupant
If the EHR room is a room that you do not serve food to (such as an emergency room or outpatient room), then you can select Ignore Room from the MealSuite Room drop-down, which will apply the Ignored Room status to the person's profile.
When a person has the Ignored Room status, they will not be included in people reports and production reports, and as such are not served during meal periods and snack times.
When selecting the Ignore Room option, the following message appears:
Note the following:
- If a transfer or admit message is received for a person with the Ignored Room status, then the person's status is changed to Active and their room will be updated to the new room.
- Diet order, allergy, and demographic messages for a person with the Ignored Room status will continue to be processed.
- If a person is currently active in the system, and a transfer patient message is received for that person containing a room that is ignored in your account, then the person will be put into the Ignored Room status and their room will be updated to the ignored room.
Viewing Profile with an Ignored Room
Note that when viewing the profile of person with the Ignored Room status due to an ignored room, the Room field states as such, as per the screenshot below (right-click image to open and expand in a new tab).
Also note that on the People Listing screen, can easily locate profiles with the Ignored Room status by selecting Ignored Room from the Status filter.
