FAQs about the family SwissVasc/Shuntsurgery
Is there a deadline for the data entry?
Yes, there is. The data for the previous year must be entered by 31 March of each year.
How can I see which details are still missing in my pending cases?
- Please log into AdjumedCollect at www.adjumed.net for this purpose.
- Select the menu item “close cases”.
- Limit your search by the entry date (from – to) or check all cases by clicking on the “search” button.
- You now have the choice between:
– Verify cases – email case log: Background check. You will receive a log with detailed error messages, which will be sent by e-mail (recommended option).
– Verify Cases – download case log: Check on the page. Log with detailed error messages as a pop-up
– Verify cases: Check on the page. Only feedback on number of errors (you can see details when you hover your mouse over the question mark icon)
You can use the error logs to see for which case and field mandatory information is missing.
Where can I find the SwissVasc logbook?
- You can find the SwissVasc logbook at www.swissvasc-logbook.ch.
- Instructions on how to export your interventions from AdjumedCollect to the SwissVasc logbook can be found here (in german).
