Audiology Quick Guide
This quick guide outlines the process of an audiology exam.
- Set the company preferences for new companies as they are added. This is done in the Audio Program section of the Company screen.
- If the audiometer has just been calibrated, add a new calibration record. You can do this from the Lookup on the Date Calibrated field or from .
- Enter audiogram data via machine interface, via PDF form, via Orders (select the audiogram order, then select Data/Print), or directly from Add. Be sure the Company ID at the audiogram level is correct for this audiogram. Also check the Job ID, if used.
- If the audiogram data show a Standard Threshold Shift and the company preference is for a recheck within 30 days, then SYSTOC automatically creates a recall seven days in the future. A recall entry ensures that reminder reports work; it does not create an actual appointment. Select Recall from the Outline menu to modify or delete this entry if desired.
- Print the audiogram(s), via the Order one at a time, or in a batch at the end of the day. Typically you will use the Audiogram Analysis Report. We recommend you provide an explanation of the exam to the employee.
- When the employee returns for the recheck exam, enter the data as usual. If the exam is within the 30-day window, and the recheck exam does not confirm the threshold shift, SYSTOC automatically moves the STS baseline back and marks the previous record Invalid.
- If an employee leaves employment with a company, then returns to the same company at a later date, be sure to manually mark the first audiogram after s/he returns as the new baseline.
- If the audiologist does not agree with SYSTOC’s analysis of the audiogram, s/he can manually modify the record in the Analysis portion of the screen. This turns off the Auto-Reanalyze feature for this record.
