Initiating/Requesting a Review for a Plan of Care in the Content Manager

To initiate the review of a plan of care, complete the following steps:
- In the Content Manager, click the Make Reviewable link. This changes the status of the plan of care to Review. Once the plan of care has this status, comments/feedback from reviewers may be added, pertaining to the entire plan of care or to a specific order item within the plan of care. To add comments, see Adding a Review Comment to a Plan of Care in AuthorSpace.
- Select the Publish to ViewSpace check box. This publishes the plan of care to ViewSpace so that it is accessible to Zynx Health Reference Site users.
- To request a review, click the Request Review link at the top of the screen to open the Request Review dialog box. Complete the fields in the dialog box.

If the name and e-mail address already exist in the system, a message appears indicating this.
Checking the Status of a Review for a Plan of Care in the Content Manager
You can check the status of a review in the Content Manager screen. The review status is only tracked for users logged in to ViewSpace as registered reviewers. In the content list, select the plan of care being reviewed and then click the Manage link to open the Content Manager screen. Scroll down to the Review Status section near the bottom of the screen to view the request date, the name of the reviewer, the status of the review, and the review date.
ViewSpace Notifications
When you initiate a review, you are automatically signed up to receive ViewSpace Notifications. ViewSpace Notifications arrive via a daily digest e-mail delivered between 3:30 and 5:30 AM PST, and include any comments or replies that were made within the previous 24 hours on content that you sent for review. Reviews can be generated in 3 ways:
- Request a review through the Content Manager.
- Activate content with a review step through Workflow Management.
- Add a reviewer through the Track Progress page in Workflow Management by editing the People.
E-mails are sent only if a comment is added to the content you sent for review. If no comments or replies have been added since the last notification, a new e-mail will not be sent. You will be subscribed to ViewSpace Notifications for as long as the content remains in Review status. Once the status changes to Draft or Released, you automatically stop receiving ViewSpace Notifications for that order set or plan of care.
A sample e-mail notification appears below:
- Link to Content in ViewSpace: Access the content in ViewSpace. This will provide the additional context needed to understand the comments. If you are using a text-only e-mail client, and the ViewSpace link does not work, copy and paste the URL into a Web browser.
- Unsubscribe: Unsubscribe from any notifications regarding this plan of care. To re-subscribe, contact Zynx Product Support.
- Global Unsubscribe: Unsubscribe from all ViewSpace Notifications. To re-subscribe, contact Zynx Product Support.
- Submit feedback regarding ViewSpace Notifications: Report defects, suggest changes, and provide other comments related to this enhancement directly to Zynx Product Support.
