• Key Concepts: 
  PCA lock duration is a feature of the IS-HMED Clinical System in SAP. It is used to control the amount of time a patient can be locked into a particular care plan. This feature helps to ensure that the patient is receiving the best possible care and that their care plan is not being changed without their consent. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The PCA lock duration can be set by the user in the IS-HMED Clinical System. The user can set the duration for each patient's care plan, which will determine how long they are locked into that particular care plan. The user can also set a default duration for all patients, which will be applied to any new care plans created. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting the PCA lock duration, it is important to consider the patient's individual needs and preferences. For example, if a patient has a chronic condition that requires frequent adjustments to their care plan, then a shorter lock duration may be more appropriate. On the other hand, if a patient is stable and does not require frequent changes to their care plan, then a longer lock duration may be more appropriate.
