Auto-select Processing
Auto-selection runs whenever a patient SDV plan is published and each time the Pending Patient Updates job runs. RDC auto-selection processes the newly eligible patients that are not already manually selected or excluded. Therefore, take note that when you use a combination of manual and automatic selection, the effective percent of patients selected for SDV exceeds the auto-select rate you specify.
Patients are processed in order by their SDV eligibility date. If there are multiple patients with the same eligibility date, the processing order is based on the Oracle RDBMS row ID for the patient. The first patients are added to the Initial Pool until the initial count is reached, if specified. Patients are then selected in a round-robin fashion, based on the auto-select rate specified in the plan. The round-robin cycle number is derived as 100 divided by the auto-select rate. For example, if the auto-select rate is 20%, every 5th patient is selected for SDV. Fractional cycle numbers are rounded down to a whole number.
