Creating programs

You can create a program and define the structure and content of the program, which consists of modules, assessments, and questionnaires. You can specify whether program graduation applies to the program.

About this task

As you create programs, you can configure a program graduation option to enable the care team to graduate individuals from programs when they complete certain parts of the program. Program graduation does not necessarily coincide with an individual completing the entire program. Individuals can graduate from a program when their participation in the program is complete, even if that occurs before the care team finalize their actions and tasks to complete the program.

You can associate an external system reference with a program that you are creating so that incoming program data from an external API can be mapped to the configured program in Watson Care Manager.

Procedure

  1. Sign in with your administrator credentials.

  10. Optional: To reorder the sequence of modules, or questionnaires or assessments in a module, do one of the following steps:
    • Click Reorder to reorder the sequence of modules in a program. In the Reorder Modules page, drag and drop modules to position them in your preferred order.
