Description
The v11 TouchWorks Picklists are short lists of selectable items within TouchWorks. Picklists are made up of defined values from dictionaries. Picklists can be created for Communication Methods, in order to establish a set of communication methods connected to an Orderable item. For Example, creating a communication picklist for Prescriptions will include all of the ways a physician may communicate that order (Call in Rx, Write Rx, Fax Rx etc.)
The v11 TouchWorks Picklist Default is an item from the Picklist you would like to see defaulted in the workflow.

The Communication Methods you had in v10 should have come over in the upgrade process, so the two BW tasks for Communication Methods are "Create Communication Method Picklists and Set the Communication Method Default" for all of your Orderable Items.
An example of how you want to create these picklists is as follows... To create a Communication Method Picklist to use when Ordering an Rx, You would design your picklist to include Communication Methods such as "CallRx, MailRx, etc..
The Communication Method Picklist Name (Not the code or mnemonic) is then entered in column AY of the OID SSMT extracts. Once the Communication Method Picklist is loaded into the system you could then set the Deafault Communication Method by entering the Communication Method Name (Not code or mnemonic) into column AZ of the OID SSMT extracts.

This will open a the "Add Entries" window. In this window select the Communication Methods in the left hand window that you want as options in this particular picklist, one at a time and then click the add button. When your list is complete, click OK.
Now, on the front end, when the physician goes to perscribe medication they have all of these options in a pull down menu for communication
