It lists every wound case for the selected patient on one screen so you can see status, compliance, and measurements at a glance, and start or continue a visit from any wound. --- ## Before you start - You are viewing the chart of a wound care patient. - The patient has at least one wound record (created during intake or via the Add Wound flow). --- ## Page layout Open the Wound Cockpit from the patient chart. The page shows: ![Wound Cockpit — patient-level wound case list with KPIs and compliance pills](../../assets/visit-wizard/02_wound_cockpit.png) *The Wound Cockpit. The top banner summarizes medications, allergies, and vitals; metric counters show case volume; each wound is a card with compliance pills and measurements.* ### Patient summary banner Three cards at the top give immediate clinical context: - **Medications** — count of active medications, with a short list. - **Allergies** — known allergy count. - **Vitals** — today's vitals (for example, blood pressure and A1C) where recorded. ### Metric counters Five counters summarize the patient's wound caseload: - **Total Cases** - **Open Wounds** - **Graft Eligible** - **Overdue Visits** - **IVR Required** ### Top actions - **Archived Wounds** — view wounds that have been archived. - **Advanced Filters** — filter the case list. - **Export Data** — export the current case list. - **Add Visit** — start a new encounter (also available on each wound card). --- ## Wound case cards Each wound appears as a card showing: | Element | What it shows | |---|---| | **Location & etiology** | The wound's anatomic location and etiology badge (for example, `venous_ulcer`, `pressure_injury`, `diabetic_foot`). | | **Wound ID** | The internal wound record ID. | | **Status pills** | `Active`, plus IVR readiness (`IVR: Not Ready` or `IVR Available`). | | **Photo** | A thumbnail if a photo is on file, with the count. | | **Compliance pills** | `Graft Eligible`, `IVR Available`, and `LCD: Compliant` — the current compliance and eligibility status. | | **Metrics grid** | Created date, number of visits, Length, Width, Depth, and Area (cm²). | | **Progress notes** | The latest progress note, if any. | | **Actions** | **Add Visit**, **Details**, **Intake**, and an overflow menu. | --- ## Starting a visit from a wound card Click **Add Visit** on a wound card to start a new encounter for that wound. The Visit Wizard opens with that wound selected in the Wound Assessment step (step 7). If a draft already exists for today, continue from the existing draft instead of starting a new one. Drafts autosave continuously — each field is saved as you complete it. See [Visit Wizard overview](./overview.md). --- ## Compliance and IVR status pills The colored pills on each card summarize readiness at a glance: - **LCD: Compliant** (green) — the wound's documentation meets the LCD compliance checks. - **Graft Eligible** (purple) — the wound qualifies for graft/advanced therapy consideration. - **IVR Available** (green) / **IVR: Not Ready** (gray) — whether the wound is ready for an Insurance Verification Request for advanced therapy. A wound that is not IVR-ready shows `IVR: Not Ready` and `IVR Not Available` on the card's status bar. Resolve the outstanding documentation (measurements, tissue percentages, prior-treatment history) to advance IVR readiness. --- ## Roles and permissions | Role | What they can do | |---|---| | `clinician` | View wounds and compliance status; start visits. | | `clinical_manager` | View wounds and compliance status. | | `medical_director` | View wounds and compliance status; review attested notes. | | `admin` | View everything in their facility. | --- ## Roadmap — planned wound cockpit features The following are planned but not yet live in the current product. Do not describe them to clinicians as available until they ship. - **Case-Manager Readiness** — a checklist button that evaluates whether a wound is ready for case manager review (conservative care documented, failed prior therapies listed, recent measurements, tissue percentages, comorbidities current, medical necessity statement, recent photo). - **Protocol progression timeline** — when a wound is enrolled in a Medipyxis Protocol Engine treatment protocol, a timeline showing the current stage, days at stage, and progression criteria. - **Wound Timeline (merged Visit Log)** — a single chronological feed of all wound events (visits, IVR requests, tissue applications, photo captures, write-offs, addenda). - **IVR Readiness Modal** — a modal that opens pre-IVR with an auto-populated checklist and payer/product fields for submitting an Insurance Verification Request. When these ship, this page will be updated with the live workflow. --- ## Troubleshooting | Symptom | Likely cause | What to do | |---|---|---| | No wounds appear on the page | The patient has no wound records | Create a wound during intake or via the Add Wound flow. | | **Add Visit** is disabled | A visit is already in progress for today, or the wound is archived | Check for an existing draft; or restore the wound from Archived Wounds. | | **LCD: Compliant** pill is missing | Wound documentation is incomplete | Complete the Wound Assessment (step 7) measurements and tissue percentages, then save. | | IVR shows "Not Ready" | Required readiness data is missing | Complete measurements, tissue composition, and prior-treatment history; the pill updates on save. | ## Related Auto-rendered from `related:` in frontmatter.
