User Preferences (EHR)
Patient Viewable and Reorder Z Codes User Preferences
We have made multiple updates to User Preferences:
- Added Patient Viewable defaults
- Added Reorder Z Code default
These updates will be released in stages.
Default Patient Viewable to On
Use the new Default Patient Viewable to On section of Chart User Preferences to select whether you want new patient notes, documents, lab results, and Healthwatcher items to open with the Patient Viewable check box selected. The Patient Viewable check box can be changed on each new chart item.
Important Note: The View EHR Chart Items system defaults in PM determine whether the Patient Viewable check box displays on chart items. If the system default is set to No for any chart item, the system default setting supersedes the User Preference, and the Patient Viewable check box will not display on the chart item and therefore cannot default to selected.
Note: Previously saved chart items will not retroactively update with the Patient Viewable check box selected; however, if you edit a previously saved chart item after selecting the Default Patient Viewable to On user preference for that chart item type, the check box will update to selected.
Go to Tools | User Preferences | Chart.
Reorder Z Codes
Use the new Always Reorder Z Codes to the End check box in Charge Slip User Preferences to always display Z Codes at the end of the list of codes added to charge slips, regardless of the order they were added.
Go to Tools | User Preferences | Charge Slip.
