Paceart Optima System Administration
The Administration section of the Paceart Optima System allows you, or your system administrator, the ability
to configure system settings that are used throughout the application. To view and edit settings in Administration
you must have Clinic Administration user permissions.
To access the Administration section click Administration from the menu bar. The Administration section
of the application is divided up into subsections by system feature.
Activity Log
You can search and view the Activity Log, which provides a record of requests, the status of work items, when
the requests were completed, and by whom they were completed.
Audit
You can search and view the audit log, which provides a record of changes, the date the change was made,
and by whom. The system automatically updates the log as users change the system. You can also export the
results from Audit Log searches.
Batch Delete
You can delete multiple unused patients from the Paceart database using the Batch Delete function. Unused
patients are patients who do not have devices, encounters, or appointments associated with them.
Billing
Paceart assists clinics in charging and billing management by providing clinicians with the ability to document,
print, and export billing information related to patient encounters. You can add and edit billing payment types
that can be recorded in patient encounters.
CardioVoice
The CardioVoice System enables patients and providers to communicate information about cardiac events
through an automated voice response system. You can configure CardioVoice to automatically fax, page, or
email a physician when a patient calls into the CardioVoice system.
Connectivity
You can configure how Paceart interacts with information from external systems.
Demographics
You can add new or edit existing locations of care, patient ID types, and patient code types using the options
on the Demographics window. These changes automatically show up in the selection lists when you add
demographic information to a patient record.
18 | Paceart Optima System | Paceart Optima System Administration
Encounter Export XML
You can configure how to export XML encounters in Paceart XML format from your Paceart system.
Home
You can customize what users see on the Home tab when using your Paceart system.
License Key
You can apply a license key in Paceart to enable new components that you have purchased.
Logging
Paceart Optima System logs client and server activity in separate log files. You can configure where the log
files are stored and how the files are formatted.
Messaging Service
You can use the messaging service to send faxes, emails, and pages from the Application Server. The messaging
service can send reports via fax and email in addition to working with the CardioVoice System.
Report Groups
This feature allows you define report groups that contain two or more standard reports or letters that can be
printed from a specified type of encounter.
Schedule
You can configure how Paceart handles scheduling for each location of care. You can set default preferences
for automatic scheduling, define the working hours, and define resources for a location of care.
Security
You can add, edit, and delete information associated with Paceart System users, External System users,
Paceart System roles, External System roles, and system-level security policies.
Task Management

Paceart Optima System | Paceart Optima System Administration | 19
Using the Activity Log
The Activity Log provides a searchable record of requests, the status of work items, when the requests were
completed, and by whom they were completed.
Paceart automatically records all activity relating to connectivity events in the Activity Log. The values are
stored in the database and you can view or update items in the Activity Log. The system automatically updates
the Activity Log as users update work items. The default retention for the Activity Log is 30 days. The size of
the log must be monitored since it can become large. Activity Log items that have a status of "Pending" are
still retained even after the maximum length of retention has been exceeded.
Using the Search Criteria section you can filter the search results.
You can export your Activity Log search results to a spreadsheet by clicking Export.
Activity Log Services
You can search the Activity Log by the service that initiated the Activity Log requests. Each service uses different
types of requests.
Authentication
The Authentication service logs communication attempts from external systems. Paceart checks the credentials
from the external system and logs the result in the Activity Log.
20 | Paceart Optima System | Paceart Optima System Administration
Patient Management
The Patient Management service logs all patient information changes from the HL7 protocol. Any additions,
deletions, and updates to patient records from HL7-based systems are logged under this service in the Activity
Log.
Encounter Management
The Encounter Management service logs activity for encounters imported from Remote Data Interface (RDI)
and Local Data Interface (LDI). Data transmitted from local and remote sources for adding and processing
encounters is logged under this service in the Activity Log, including SessionSync and LATITUDE. If a system
accesses the Paceart Domain Interface (PDI) without a valid Patient ID type, Paceart creates a work item in
the Activity Log.
Appointment Management
The Appointment Management service logs all appointment information changes in Paceart. Any additions,
deletions, and updates to appointments are logged under this service in the Activity Log. HL7 appointments
are logged under this service in the Activity Log.
Outbound Appointment
The Outbound Appointment service logs how appointments are handled between Paceart and CareLink. The
results of queuing, updating, and synchronizing appointments are logged under this service in the Activity Log.
Outbound XML Export
The Outbound XML Export service logs all XML export messages from Paceart to an external file system or
the HL7 protocol in the Activity Log.
Outbound Encounter
The Outbound Encounter service logs encounter activity any time a CareLink download is initiated automatically
or by a clinician. The results of Paceart pulling encounter information from CareLink are logged under this
service in the Activity Log.
Activity Log Results
This is a list of Activity Log request results and their definitions. The list also shows if a work item is created for
each result and what action is needed to resolve work items.

Configuring Demographics
You can add new or edit existing locations of care, patient ID types, and patient code types using the
Demographics window. These changes automatically show up in the selection lists when you add demographic
information to a patient record.
Location of Care Tab
Locations of care are usually hospitals and clinics that are associated with a patient or provider. Clinic scheduling
is based on the location of care.
Location of care allows multiple clinical locations to share the Paceart database while isolating certain types
of information. All patients are assigned a location of care and clinic scheduling is based on location.
Having a primary arrhythmia or device-related clinic location of care assigned to each patient allows you to
search for patients, generate reports, and export data based on patients in a particular clinic location. The
locations of care can be organized in a hierarchy with up to three levels with the highest level of the organization
on top. Each location is associated to the level directly above it.
Location of care can also be used to describe the location for an appointment or the location for an encounter.
You can also use this window to:
• Set the default country for a location of care
• View details about the location such as the address and contact person on the Details tab.
• See a list of patients who receive medical care at this location on the Related Patients tab.
Patient ID Type Tab
The patient ID type allows you to define multiple categories for tracking different patient IDs used by a clinic.
The ID type and value combination uniquely identifies a single patient in Paceart. Patient ID values must be
unique or blank for each Patient ID Type.
With the addition of patient ID types, patient IDs are a combination of a patient ID type and a patient ID value.
This feature allows a clinic to have multiple unique IDs for a single patient. Paceart validates that patient ID
values are unique for each patient ID type. The primary ID type is used whenever a single patient ID is displayed,
such as the Patient Information tab and on reports.
You can have a maximum of twenty ID types. The ID type at the top of the list is automatically designated as
the primary type. You can have only one primary ID type but you can change the primary type at any time by
moving a different ID type to the top of the list.
Each ID type must have a unique name. Two ID types are automatically added when Paceart is installed,
Default and Paceart.
Default is initially designated as the primary patient ID type and it corresponds to the current patient ID in
Paceart. Both the ID name and primary designation can be changed.
Paceart Optima System | Paceart Optima System Administration | 49
Paceart contains a number that is either automatically assigned by the system when the patient is added to
the database or is imported from the Patient # field from previous versions of Paceart. This ID type cannot be
renamed or deleted.
Patient Code Type Tab
Code types are used for various purposes within a clinic. For example, you can enter a code into a patient's
record to associate that patient with a particular clinic or specific clinical trial. Within a clinic, a code type can
be assigned an alphanumeric code identifier of up to 6 characters.
Paceart has four code types initially designated as Code 1, Code 2, Code 3, and Code 4. You can change the
code description from this tab.

Configuring Server and Client Logging
Paceart Optima System logs client and server activity in separate log files. You can configure where the log
files are stored and how the files are formatted.
The Administration: Logging window allows you to set up how client and server activity is logged in Paceart.
Paceart logs the following server and client events:
• Exceptions not handled by the system
• Data updates without user intervention
• Starting the Paceart application
• Exiting the Paceart application
• Security events such as login attempts and password changes
Paceart Optima System | Paceart Optima System Administration | 63
You can set the location of the files, the maximum number of files to preserve, and the maximum size of the
files. You can also format where and how each activity is logged.
Location of log file
You can specify where to store each type of log file on your computer.
Log line layout
You can enter the following parameters to format the log line layout:
• %date: The time and date of the logged event according to the operating system on which the system is
running and the date pattern entered for that type of logging.
• %level: The level of the logged event. This parameter tells you if Paceart successfully completed the event
or if there was an error.
• %logger: The Paceart service attempting to complete the task.
• %message: The message returned from the Paceart service.
• %newline: Enters a carriage return at the end of the log line so each logged event is on a different line.
• %timestamp: The number of milliseconds elapsed since the start of the application until the creation of the
logging event.
• %type: The type name of the caller issuing the logging request.
For example, the default log line layout for client logging is %date [%-5level][%logger] %message %newline.
Successfully exiting the Paceart application would yield the following log file entry: 2011-01-12 04:10:09,766
[INFO ][Paceart.Program]Application_ApplicationExit. INFO is the level of the event, Paceart.Program is the
service used, and Application_ApplicationExit is the message returned from the service.
64 | Paceart Optima System | Paceart Optima System Administration
Format modifiers
You can add optionalformat modifiers to the log line layout with certain characters. One optional format modifier
is the left justification flag, which is the minus (-) character followed by the optional minimum field width modifier.
This modifier is a decimal constant that represents the minimum number of characters to output. If the data
item requires fewer characters, it is padded on either the left or the right until the minimum width is reached.
The default is to pad on the left (right justify) but you can specify right padding with the left justification flag. If
the data item is larger than the minimum field width, the field is expanded to accommodate the data. The value
is never truncated.
This behavior can be changed using the maximum field width modifier, which is designated by a period followed
by a decimal constant. If the data item is longer than the maximum field, then the extra characters are removed
from the beginning of the data item. For example, if the maximum field width is eight and the data item is ten
characters long, then the first two characters of the data item are dropped.
The following table describes format modifier examples for the log line layout.
Format modifier
Date pattern
The default value for the date pattern for log files is yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss,fff. For example, if a logged event
occurs on December 15, 2010 at 4:45 PM, the default date pattern would show 2010-12-15 04:45:12,345 in
the log file. If you want the log files to display dates and times in a different way, you can enter a different date
pattern. For example, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss,fff.

If the logger name is less than 20 characters

name is longer than 30 characters, then truncate

If no date pattern is specified, Paceart uses the regional settings of operating system on which the system is
running.
Maximum number of files to preserve
Once the maximum log file size is reached, the system creates another log file. Paceart preserves the most
recent number of log files specified in this field.
