Different User Types

Approver User Type:After registration the 'approver' will receive a password to log into the 7daysat website. The 'approver' password should be retained and used only by the person registered in this role.

The 'approver' log-in grants access to the tool, whilst also giving permissions to access the approval functionality (via an additional button on the welcome page tab). Once the data entry has been completed, the 'approver' should review the inputs and, once satisfied, approve the record (following the procedure outlined in slides 30-35). The first record will act as a baseline and can be approved at any time. Subsequent records can be approved on a quarterly basis from this first record’s approval date. The subsequent records can only be approved two weeks prior to this quarterly date. This will ensure strict quarterly records are kept and a large number of records are not created for a short period of time.

The ‘approver’ also receives alerts that new potential ‘data submitters’ have registered. If the ‘approver’ wishes the person they have been alerted about to be a ‘data submitter’ then they should log into the tool and on the welcome page they should click the user administration button. On this administration page the ‘approver’ can grant access to registered users for data submission purposes.

Data Submitter User Type:

After registration the ‘data submitter’ will be emailed confirmation of their registration, this email will also go to the ‘approver’ of the same organisation. Once the ‘approver’ logs in to the tool and grants access to the ‘data submitter’ (via the ‘user administration’ button on the welcome page) then the ‘data submitter’ will receive another email informing them of the ‘data submitter’ password. This will enable data to be entered and to be saved but will not allow data to be approved using the approver button on the welcome screen. This button will be hidden from the ‘data submitter’.

Logging into the Tool

Select your Organisation Type and Trust from the

drop down list. A list of Hospital Sites will appear, select the

relevant site.

Enter your password and Click Log In

There are two user types per organisation, an

‘approver’ user type and ‘data submitter’ user type. Each ‘role’ is associated with a different password.The ‘data submitters’ are all appropriate users at the site who can enter self assessment data

about their particular work area or department. The ‘approver’ one is for data

to be approved on a quarterly basis, this user type can enter data as well but they also have

the responsibility of reviewing and signing off

all of the data that has been entered for their

site.If you are having trouble

logging in, please contact NATCANSAT on:0870 840 8033 or

Approval of a Record

Data Approver User Type Only

To ‘Approve’ your record, on the

welcome screen click here to access your

records page

Baseline submission column indicates if a record has been approved since the ‘establishing a baseline of

the seven day services clinical standards in acute

care’ changes were made to the toolkit.

This bottom section gives an overview of the 4 priority clinical standard sections. When a section has all the necessary questions complete, it will appear here in green. If a section has incomplete

questions, the section will appear here in red. The questions within this incomplete section will also be highlighted in red on the clinical standards page for your convenience.

Record active / approved. Approved records can be reviewed by clicking them on this table and then navigating to the questions section to view

the old data. Old data can be viewed but not modified. The active record can be modified. A selected record is highlighted in yellow.

Baseline submission column indicates if a record has been approved since the ‘establishing a baseline of

the seven day services clinical standards in acute

care’ changes were made to the toolkit.

When the 4 priority clinical standard sections are complete and each section has been saved, if the data approver is logged in then a button appears which allows the data approver to approve the current active record. Please note, the active record must be selected (highlighted in yellow)

for it to approve.

Director level approval and sharing confirmation is required prior to record

approval.

Once all the priority clinical standard sections are complete (see previous slide for details) and the Approve selected records button is pressed, the data approver will have to provide details of the director from within their organisation who has confirmed the approval of this record. Details of

this are provided on screen and within the privacy policy.

Confirmation your record has been approved.

Following the completion of a record approval, the ‘Baseline submission?’

column indicates Yes next to the record that was approved. A complete copy of your previous

record is also provided, this becomes the new active record which is highlighted in yellow.

The new active record is ready to enter any new changes in the 7 day services that your organisation provide. The previous data which ahs been approved has been copied in to your new active record,

therefore going forward only changes to the active record are required and not the complete data entry which will have taken place the first time you entered data in to the 7DSAT. Each priority clinical standard section will require viewing and saving prior to approving a new record, this enforces the checking of data

prior to submission for these priority standards.
