Accuro: Add User-Friendly Buttons to CDS Links*

Once you've configured your global CDS links, you can create shortcut buttons on your action bar to quickly access your CDS links with one simple click.

Note: *This is an optional but recommended step in setting up the integration between QHR Accuro and Ocean.

  • Once you've configured your global CDS links, you can create shortcut buttons on your action bar to quickly access your CDS links with one simple click.

Prerequisites

  • Within Accuro, click the target icon, select 'File', and click 'User Preferences'.
  • Select the Display module, and then open the Configure Actions tab.
  • Ensure that the 'Dock Action Bar' checkbox is enabled.
  • In the 'Selections' area, click the green plus (+) icon to create a new custom action.
  • For the 'Select a Custom Action' setting, select 'Custom CDS Action'.
  • For the 'Description' setting, enter a name for the action that you are creating. For simplicity, we recommend using the same name as your global CDS link.
  • For the 'CDS' setting, select the corresponding global CDS link that should be launched when a user presses the button.
  • To select a custom icon for the button, click the 'Change' button.
  • Browse and select your preferred icon.

    A few common icon examples include: "waves", "water_element", "read_message", and "message_group".

  • To change the icon colour, click on the colour box at the top of the window to open the colour selector, select your desired colour, and then click 'OK'.
  • Once you are satisfied with both your icon and colour selection, click 'OK'.
  • Press 'OK' to save your new custom action button.

    Note: Repeat steps D through K for each user-friendly CDS button that you would like to create.

  • Click 'OK' once you have created all your desired CDS buttons.
  • Log out of your Accuro EMR user account, and then log back in.

    Note: Do not close the Accuro application entirely, as this may prevent your newly created buttons from saving. Simply log out of your EMR account and log back in.

  • Your user-friendly CDS button(s) will now be available on your Accuro action bar.
