Creating Other Facilities

Other facilities allow you to create a reading/transcription facility. However, Other Facilities could also be used to create an imaging/referring facility and duplicate an existing facility. The imaging/referring facility created using this tab will need some more inputs to make a complete facility. This tab comprises various sections like Contact Information, Practice type, Users, and Notes.

How to create Other Facilities​

  1. Click Settings > Users and Facilities > Other Facilities tab to create a new facility (reading/transcription/imaging/referring). Other Facilities tab appears as shown below.

  1. Click New. This opens a blank form.

  2. Type the name of the new facility in the left pane.

Contact Information​

The issuer of patient ID will be available in the drop-down menu only if the facility name exist in the database of the application else you will need to type in the name of the facility. However, manually typed in issuer of Patient ID will only be related to this imaging facility and it will not be appended to the application database.

Users​

This feature allows you to add or remove reading/performing physicians name of the imaging facility.

When you are creating a new facility, you cannot add users unless you save the facility. Once you create a facility by saving it, the Add, Remove buttons in the Users section get enabled.

When adding users for any facility (Imaging/Referring/Other), if you enter an invalid NPI/ID number, the entire User/Referrer row in the grid clears out. This feature helps prevent accidental misidentification of Referring physicians.

Notes​

The notes section is used to enter any description about the facility.
