Add Content to Standardized Library

# Add Content

Access: DMP Administrator

The Standardized Library (SL) of the DMP module serves as a central repository of standard DMP content that can be used in all VHA-written DMPs. The following outlines the steps for adding content to the SL:

1. Access the SL by selecting Manage > Standardized Library. The Standardized Library Content window displays.

2. Click Add Content. The Add Standardized Library Content window displays.

3. Select the appropriate Category from the drop-down menu provided. There are thirteen categories to choose from, including the following: "Depression", "Disease Process", "Fatigue", "General Information", "Goal Setting", "Introduction", "Medications", "Nutrition Related", "Pain Management", "Physical Activity", "Psychosocial", "Sleep Hygiene", and "Stress Management".

4. There are two Content Types to choose from: "Question/Statement" and "Educational Content". Select the appropriate Content Type from the drop-down menu.

5. Enter text in the Content field. This field is an alpha-numeric, free-text field. If "Question/Statement" is selected as the Content Type, the maximum number of characters is 100. If "Educational Content" is selected as the Content Type, the maximum number of characters is 250.

6. If applicable, select the clinical evidence that supports the new SL content. Three checkboxes are provided: VA/DOD Clinical Guideline, AHRQ (Agency for HealthCare and Quality), and Another Resource.

   - Another Resource: Click the checkbox (a checkmark displays). A text box displays for entering a brief summary of the other resource that supports the new SL content. The text box provided is a 100-character, alpha-numeric, free text field.

7. Click Submit.

NOTE: The application prevents a user from entering duplicate content in the SL. The application compares the three required fields on the Add Standardized Library Content window (Category, Content Type, and Content) to existing items in the SL content to verify whether or not the new content is a duplicate. An error message will display if the content is found to be a duplicate. The new content will not be saved if it is found to be a duplicate.
