Event Compliance

Enter LinkoHW Compliance Assistant from the Menu Bar / Compliance / Review Compliance.

When you click on the Gather Information button for the Event Compliance Tab, the program:

§  Gathers the Events that match your selection criteria. 

§  Reviews Event Types to see which events are “Compliance Events” and what the Compliance Days Late are set to.

§  Calculates Event compliance by comparing Event Due Date with Event Complete Dates.   

§  Flags events for NC or SNC depending on the exceedance of Compliance Days Late

A status message is displayed as the calculations are performed and when the process is complete.

The reports display event information and flag late Compliance Events as NC or SNC. Violations are temporarily created for your review in the Violations Tab.

Review Violations

Running Gather Information for Event Compliance will create Temporary Violations if any of the Event Types have exceeded their permissible Days Late. These Violations have not been saved as records in the Linko Database. They are created temporarily so that you may review the Violations before telling Linko to create them as records in the Database.

Linko will inform you that Violations have been created and the Violations tab will become available. Open the Violations Tab and review the Violations and create Violations of interest.

Note: the Violations Tab does not become visible until after the User gathers information.

You must review the list of Temporary Violations prior to creating them to ensure the Facility has not already received a violation for the particular incident.
