Table Access + Creating a Action Plan

This tutorial walks you through building action plans in Lightning Step. By following these steps, you'll easily set up, configure, and activate action plans tailored to your workflow.

Access System Configuration

Step 1: Navigate to System Configuration

Open the menu under your name and select System Configuration.

Configure Table Access

Step 2: Set Table Access

In the configuration area, select Table Access. Choose which documents and features should be available for your action plans. Use the three columns to control which forms and tables users may select. Ensure all needed documents are set as accessible.

Set Up Action Plans

Step 3: Open the Action Plans Section

After configuring table access, go to Action Plans to start building your plans.

Step 4: Start a New Action Plan

Select New Source Action Plan. Enter a title, then set the start trigger—options include client admission, transfer, discharge, or manual start.

Step 5: Set the Stop Trigger and Program

Decide when your action plan stops. Options include after a number of days from discharge, at discharge or transfer, or manually. For this example, select Transfer.Select the program, such as Detox. This ties the plan to admissions into that care level and auto-stops it when clients transfer out. By default, only future admissions are included; check Allow user to manually assign to existing admissions to add current clients. Add a description if needed.Click Save to complete setup.

Add Actions and Details

Step 6: Add Actions to the Plan

Define specific actions, such as a Biopsychosocial Intake Assessment at admission. Enter the action title and choose its category: clinical, medical, nursing, or other. This helps organize and report on client tasks. Specify if the action is a task or a form, and set its completion requirements.

Step 7: Choose Forms for Actions

Pick the form for each action. Select from standard options, like Biopsychosocial, or any custom forms you need. Ensure each fits your workflow.

Step 8: Configure Due Dates and Frequency

Set deadlines and recurrence for actions, such as completion within 72 hours of admission or on a custom timeline. Input times and recurrence as required.

Notifications and Final Review

Step 9: Set Notification Options

Control who receives notifications about upcoming tasks. Assign staff or notification lists so everyone stays aware of documentation deadlines. Set up advance notices and alerts for missed deadlines to keep the team informed.

Step 10: Activate and Review the Action Plan

After saving all actions, review the plan summary to verify settings, forms, and notifications.Click Save and Stay to put your plan into action. The setup is active right away, so any new admission to Detox will follow this action plan.
