Several time-triggered actions occur automatically in DOCLINE, based on the request service level (Normal, Rush, Urgent Patient Care) and length of time an ILL request is in the system and the action that has been taken on it.

 

For Normal Requests:

• An ILL request must be receipted by the lending library to which it routed within one (1) business day.
• If a request is not receipted by 12:05 AM on the day following its routing to the lender, DOCLINE removes the request and routes it to another potential lender.
• On the second working day after an ILL request is receipted, DOCLINE displays a warning message that there is one more day to update a request.
• If an ILL request is received but not acted upon (updated as filled or rejected) within three (3) working days, DOCLINE automatically re-routes the request to another potential lender.
• Note: Weekends are not counted in the calculation of days.  Only Monday - Friday (Eastern Time) count as business days, excluding the holidays listed below.

 

For Rush and Urgent Patient Care Requests:

 

• A Rush (same day delivery) or Urgent Patient Care (process and ship immediately) request must be receipted by the lending library on the same day the request routes to the potential lender.
• If a request is not receipted on the same day it routes to the lender, DOCLINE removes the request and routes it to another potential lender at 12:05 AM the following morning.
• On the day after a Rush or Urgent Patient Care request is receipted, DOCLINE displays a warning message that there is one more day to update a request.
• If a request is received but not acted upon (updated as filled or rejected) within one (1) business day, DOCLINE automatically re-routes the request to another potential lender at 12:05 AM the following morning.

Note: Weekends are not counted in the calculation of days.  Only Monday - Friday (Eastern Time) count as business days, excluding the holidays listed below.
