Creating task templates

Updated on April 23, 2021

You can create task templates that are automated or manual actions performed by the medical personnel. These tasks include scheduled phone calls, scheduled risk assessments, sending fulfillment, sending correspondence (emails and letters), and interventions.

Because look-up data pages do not support dynamic class referencing, you need to save the D_BATask and the D_BA_Task rules in the appropriate implementation-layer class context so that the data pages can fetch the implementation-layer specific data. Otherwise, the look-up fails and the data page does not return any data.

Design Patterns: For more information, see Features and functions of the Task case in Care Management.

Creating a notification task template

You can create a task to automatically send an email to the case owner.

  1. Log in to the application by entering the user name for the Business Analyst operator and the password that you specified. 
  2. Click Launch portalCM Business Analyst.
  3. In the navigation panel, click NewTask, and then enter the name of the task.
  4. In the Category list, select Notify case owner.
  5. Click New to create a new task or Copy from existing task to reuse existing information, and then complete the remaining fields.
  6. Select the Auto resolve check box to indicate that no manual intervention is required.
  7. To make this template available for use, select the Active check box.
    Notify case owner task
    This means that a care manager can find the template when searching or a business analyst can use it when attaching tasks to an intervention in the Business Analyst portal.
  8. Click Create and then click Close.

Creating a task for an MCG assessment template

You can specify the scheduling of an MCG assessment when you create a task. This task type provides easy access to industry-leading, evidence-based best practices and assessments so that you can support clinical decision-making.

Before you begin: You must have installed the Informed by MCG for Disease Management solution. For more information, see the Pega Integration Solution for MCG Disease Management Installation Guide on the Pega Care Management product page.

Before you create this task in the CM Business Analyst portal, determine which SLAs that you want to associate with the task.

  1. Log in to the application by entering the user name for the Business Analyst operator and the password that you specified. 
  2. Click Launch portalCM Business Analyst.
  3. In the navigation panel, click NewTask, and then enter the name of the task.
  4. In the Category list, select Schedule MCG Assessment.
  5. Click New to create a new task or Copy from existing Task to reuse existing task information.
  6. Click New to create a new SLA or Select Existing SLA to use an existing SLA.
  7. To create a new SLA, perform the following steps:
    1. Enter a name in the New SLA field, and click the Add icon.
    2. In the Create a new SLA dialog box, complete the fields
      For more information about these fields, see Creating a service-level agreement rule.
      Note: If you need to configure values for passed deadline, contact your administrator.
    3. Click Submit.
  8. To make this template available for use, select the Active check box.
    This means that a care manager can find the template when searching or a business analyst can use it when attaching tasks to an intervention in the Business Analyst portal.
  9. Click Create and then click Close.

Creating a record observation task template

You can create a record observation task for a patient to monitor a condition. For example, if a patient experiences higher than normal blood pressure, you create a task for the patient to take blood pressure readings three times a day for a month to obtain more information related to the condition.

Before you begin: Before you create this task template in the CM Business Analyst portal, determine which SLAs that you want to associate with the record observation task template.
  1. Log in to the application by entering the user name for the Business Analyst operator and the password that you specified. 
  2. Click Launch portalCM Business Analyst.
  3. In the navigation panel, click NewTask, and then enter the name of the task.
  4. In the Category list, select RecordObservation.
  5. Click New to create a new task or Copy from existing Task to reuse existing task information.
  6. Click New to create a new SLA or Select Existing SLA to use an existing SLA. To create a new SLA, follow these steps:
  7. To create a new SLA, perform the following steps:
    1. Enter a name in the New SLA field, and click the Add icon.
    2. In the Create a new SLA dialog box, complete the fields
      For more information about these fields, see Creating a service-level agreement rule.
      Note: If you need to configure values for passed deadline, contact your administrator.
    3. Click Submit.
  8. Select the Execute once check box to indicate that you want the task performed once.

    When the case manager adds the task to the care plan, and the value entered in the End after field exceeds the default value, an agent handles the recurrence process.

    For example: If the default value set by the administrator is 10 recurrences and the care manager schedules 100 recurrences, an agent handles the processing due to performance reasons. The care manager needs to close the case for approximately two minutes so that the agent can create the recurring tasks.
  9. If you clear this check box because you want the task to occur multiple times, complete the recurrence information:
    1. Enter a value in the Every field and click the appropriate button.
    2. Enter values in the Frequency and End after fields.
  10. To make this template available for use, select the Active check box.

  11. Click Create and then click Close.
