The Cases tab is the central location for all RTW cases for the business. This is the default landing page for all users and is explained in more detail in this user guide.
Managers will have permissions to access RTW cases, and with correct scoping applied, will only be able to view the cases from specified organisational areas. Generally, they will be able to perform the following tasks for the users they have access to:
- Create and edit RTW cases.
- Manage all aspects of cases, including medical certificates, RTW plans, progress reports, costs etc.
- Add new Insurers, RTW coordinators and providers.
2.2. Administrators
Administrators will generally have access to all cases and functionality within the system. In addition to the same functionality as managers, administrators can also:
- Delete cases.
- Delete insurers & managers.
- Manage system settings.
The menu and tab options relevant for local administrators are:
- Cases.
- Insurers & managers.
2.3. Retaining system integrity
Only the administrator has the permission to manage master data such as deletion of cases and managed lists. It is recommended that the number of administrators per instance of Lucidity Software is kept to a minimum to retain integrity and consistency across the system configuration and to avoid duplication. It is a worthwhile exercise to create a standard set of guidelines that all new master data entered must follow.
