ADMINISTRATION > AUTO TRIAGE

The TEFSC Administrator (Superuser) has the ability to automatically triage all new referrals in the referral queue. To auto-triage qualifying referrals, click [Run Auto Triage]:

This automatic triaging functionality is executable at any point in time by the superuser role. The EFRA will automatically pull in the referrals according to the following qualifications:

1. The system triages new referrals to a biomonitoring workflow that have one of the following risk categories:

a. The Auto-triage indicates that the patient has had a fragment removed at surgery or has a documented retained fragment

b. The Auto-triage indicates that the patient has a high likelihood of having a retained fragment

c. The Auto-triage indicates the veteran possibly has a retained fragment as a result of injuries sustained while serving in the area of conflict.

2. The system triages new referrals that show the veteran likely does not have a retained fragment as a result of injuries sustained while serving in the area of conflict as ineligible, with an ineligibility reason of "Likely does not have fragment."

3. The system triages new referrals that have the Unable to Screen health factor (for any reason) as Ineligible only where there are no health factors present from the second clinical reminder. For these scenarios, the Auto-triage generates the ineligibility reason as the name of the health factor as it appears on the screen (i.e., Acute Illness, Severe Cognitive Impairment, or Refused Screening Tool).

4. The system triages duplicate referrals as ineligible with an ineligibility reason of "Duplicate."

5. The "Reviewed By" as reflected on the Referral screen and in the Referral export will indicate SYSTEM as the user for any referral triaged by this script.

The data validation rules applied on the referral screen for the VA Contact fields would not be applicable to this script; whatever data is sent from the source systems will be written to the database as received.
