July 24, 2024
In the interest of accurate Time Zones handling and best practice setup, the TZ feature in BBS is designed for multi-site clinics, allowing users to set up the relevant time zones to their geographical locations. 
The optional service comprises the following variables:

  • TZ identification of clinics + users.
  • Storage in Coordinated Universal Time.
  • UTC offset calculations.
  • Time boundaries defined.
  • Daylight Saving Times observance.
Multiple sections of the EMR are impacted by the use of TZ, these include:
  • Patient records.
  • Printed reports.
  • Time-stamps.
  • Comprehensive coverage of all date/time instances.
  • Scheduling, check-ins and staff published availability.
  • Chain of custody.
  • Materials handling.
  • E-signatures.
  • Treatment triggers.
  • Culture processing.
  • SOP worksheets.
  • Interface brokers with 3rd party systems.
  • Inter-departmental orders + tasks.
  • Transactions logs.

Accurate time zone handling thus ensures consistent behavior across different locations and prevents unexpected issues or interruptions to workflow.
