FAC-WF-02 · Corrections, declined agreements, department checklists and withdrawal ​

The unhappy paths: a reviewer objects, a patient says no, a checklist is about equipment rather than a patient, and a template has to come out of use while someone is half-way through it.

Before you start ​

Run FAC-WF-01 first: it publishes the medication agreement this journey uses. Same people and patient.

Steps ​

1. A reviewer asks for changes ​

On a record waiting for cosignature, a reviewer chooses Ask for changes and says why. The record shows Changes requested. Another reviewer can't cosign over the objection.

2. The nurse corrects it ​

The nurse sees the reviewer's reason, corrects the answer and completes the step. Earlier signatures stay in the record, marked superseded by a correction; the corrected version needs the patient's and staff signatures again. The answers as first signed are kept.

Corrected: earlier signatures superseded

3. The patient declines ​

Patient declines or can't sign records Patient declined or Unable to sign with the reason and any follow-up. The record reads Declined — not signed.

Declined, not signed

4. A department checklist with no patient ​

The admin uses the Department equipment check starter for General Outpatients. A reviewer who can't (or prefers not to) draw signs with Type name instead: their full name plus the confirmation, recorded as a typed signature.

The typed alternative

Staff start it from Department workflows → Start a department checklist. No patient is involved; the list shows it as a Department record.

Department checklists

5. Edit a published template, then withdraw it ​

Editing a published template saves a new draft revision; the published revision and everything started on it stay as they are. Withdraw published revision stops new starts and asks what to do with records still open on it: put them on hold until a reviewer decides, or cancel them.

Edited and withdrawn

6. A held record waits for a decision ​

The open agreement shows On hold: Template withdrawn: … and can't be filled or signed. A department reviewer either continues it on its original wording or cancels it with a reason.

What Verabase will refuse and why ​

You try to…Verabase saysWhy
Cosign after another reviewer asked for changesA reviewer asked for changes…An objection isn't outvoted
Reuse signatures after a correctionSignatures marked superseded; new ones requiredPeople sign the exact content
Start a department checklist for a patientThis is a department workflow…No dummy patients
Type a name that isn't the signer'sType the signer's full name exactly…The typed method still identifies the signer
Fill or sign a held recordNo current step while on holdWithdrawn wording isn't silently used
Start a withdrawn templateIt isn't offeredWithdrawal stops new use

You're done when… ​

  • [ ] A corrected record shows its earlier signatures as superseded and new ones on the corrected answers.
  • [ ] A declined agreement reads Declined — not signed with the reason.
  • [ ] A held record was continued or cancelled by a reviewer, with a reason in its history.

Practice task ​

Withdraw a published checklist with one record still open, choosing put them on hold. As a reviewer, continue it on its original wording. Check: the history names who held and who resumed it, and nobody could start a new one meanwhile.
