Locations Management

The Enterprise Health solution allows varying degrees of customization with regard to locations, namely office-specific types or work sites, regions, and locations. There is also the corporate, or managing, location which is used and can be updated, as needed.

Locations Manager

With the necessary security permissions to manage locations, the Locations Manager chart tab, found within the Control Panel , allows adding, editing, and deactivating of locations. The locations found here are the areas the practices utilize for any and all aspects of the delivery of care. Some examples of locations are any facilities or sites an appointment needs scheduled for, any locality needing associated with created documents, or any places at which services are provided. Locations should also be entered for any sites at which physicians may practice, perform surgeries, or round. Another type of location to consider is an affiliated or referring site, such as locations that provide results (e.g., labs and lab interfaces) or receive referrals (e.g., x-ray, lab draw, consult, etc.).

Utilization & Initial Use

In order to use the Locations Manager chart tab, a user must have either the Add or Edit security setting for the E-Chart: Manage Locations security option. With this setting appropriately enabled, clicking the tab will display all active locations set up within the system. Some locations may have been entered by an an Implementer; however, any and all locations, can be manually added, edited, or deactivated from this screen.

Upon accessing a new Enterprise Health database with no locations previously added, a default location will always display, with the code OFFICE and the description of Corporate Office or Office. Use this entry as the primary location for the organization. To view and update:

1. Navigate to the Control Panel , from the left sidemenu.
2. Click the Locations Manager tab.
3. Click the Edit link to change the details of this location.
4. Update the appropriate fields to reflect the organization’s primary office description, address, and phone/fax information.
5. Click the Modify button to submit the changes.
6. A confirmation message will display at the top of the page.

Additional locations can be added after the primary location has been edited and updated to reflect the appropriate location information.

Add/Edit/Deactivate Locations

To add a new location to the  Enterprise Health  solution:

1. While under the Locations Manager tab, click the Add Location link in the upper-right of the screen. The Add Location screen will open and all of the fields can be updated, accordingly.
   1. Code - This is a required field used for a brief or abbreviated code for specific locations. The code can be up to 10 characters long and must be unique.
   2. Description - Full name of location.
   3. Place of Service - Autocomplete field which provides the type of location being referenced. Begin typing or press the down arrow key to access entry options. Tab to the next field or click the preferred choice to accept the selection.
   4. Address1 - The main element of the address for the location (i.e., street address, P.O. Box, company name, or c/o).
   5. Address2 - The secondary elements of the location address (e.g., suite, unit, building, floor, etc.).
   6. City - The full city name of the location.
   7. State/Province - A drop-down of possible states/provinces of locations. A system setting is available to allow international options versus US-only locations.
   8. Postal Code - Enter the full postal code for the specified location. A system setting is available to accommodate international postal codes, leaving entries as they are entered, without auto-formatting.
   9. Country - Field defaults to United States; however, other countries are available for selection.
   10. Time Zone - Field defaults to Use System Time Zone; however, if different, the appropriate specific time zone can be selected from the drop-down.
   11. Phone Number - Enter the full phone number, including any international access code, country calling code, area code, or exit code.
   12. Fax Number - Enter full fax number, including any international access code, country calling code, area code, or exit code.
   13. Use in FAX header - Select Yes or No. Set this option to Yes, if the location has a specified fax number and all outgoing faxes from users using this default location are to display the location’s fax number (versus the  Enterprise Health solution’s primary fax number) as Sent From on all outgoing faxes. This will display the location’s fax number in the header of the outgoing faxes sent by users who are set to this default location. Set this option to No, if the location does not have a fax number, or if faxes from users who are set to this default location are not to show the location’s specified fax number (but rather the  Enterprise Health solution’s primary fax number) on all outgoing faxes. This setting will display the  Enterprise Health solution’s primary fax number on all faxes sent by users using this location.
   14. Account Number -  EH will provide this field, if necessary. For example, orders interfaces often require an account number associated with all transactions, to effectively send and/or receive results. If a practice is set up with an orders interface with a specific facility (e.g., LabCorp, Quest, etc.), the facility account number associated with that location must be entered in the location’s details. When sending the order electronically the account number for the location will send with it.
   15. Outside Location - Field defaults to No, meaning the location being created/edited is internal, that is not an outside, or external, location. Setting this field to Yes will, however, treat the entry as an external location. Internal, or inside, locations are places at which resources perform services, or for which the organization schedules appointments and creates documents. Conversely, an external, or outside, location is one that a resource may send a patient to or receive results from.
   16. Active - Field defaults to Yes, meaning the location being entered is an active location. Only locations no longer being used should ever be marked as No, or as inactive. An alternative method for deactivating a location is by way of the De-Activate link in the Options column on the Locations Manager main screen. Deactivated locations will not appear in any  Enterprise Health module requiring a location selection.

Once all fields have been provided for, as necessary, click the Add button to submit the location to the system. A confirmation message will display at the top of the page.

Edit Locations

Editing a location, for any reason, is a simple process:

1. Click the Edit link in the Options column of the Locations Manager .
2. The Modify Location screen will load, where all necessary changes can be made.
3. When finished editing, click the Modify button to save and submit the changes.
4. A confirmation message will display at the top of the page.

**Deactivate Locations** Only locations no longer being used should ever be deactivated. To **deactivate** a location: 1. Click the De-Activate link in the Options column of the [Locations Manager](https://system/?f=chart&s=leditor&tabmodule=admin&tabselect=Locations+Manager). 2. Once the De-Activate link is clicked, a Confirm De-Activate page will load. This confirmation will also show how many documents use this location and that they will be updated upon acceptance.

3. Click the De-Activate button.
4. A confirmation message will display at the top of the page.

View Outside/Deactivated Locations

Deactivated and outside locations do not display in the table on the Locations Manager, by default.

If a location was deactivated or set as outside, or external, use the links provided in the upper-right corner of the Locations Manager summary page:

• Show Outside Locations
• Show Deactivated

There is also a search filter available in the Locations Manager to help search and find a specific location, if necessary. This is particularly helpful when there is an abundance of locations in the system.

Work Location Management

The  Enterprise Health solution provides a means to manage multiple work regions, sites, and locations, if necessary. The Work Locations  manager can be found within the Control Panel ; however, the appropriate system setting must be enabled if a client wishes to utilize work regions. When in the Work Locations tab, three (3) Work Location Management selections are available. These are editors for setting up the necessary work regions, sites, and locations, as they relate to specific campaigns and/or panels:

• Work Region Manager
• Work Site Manager
• Work Location Manager

Panels

Panels can be assigned to work regions to help limit the selection of available panels that may be appropriate for a given region. Panels displayed on the Panel Membership page, for example, are based on work region, therefore panels that are not tied to the user’s work region are filtered out of the display.

One or more work regions can be assigned to a panel and this can be used as search criteria from the panel page. Enterprise Health filters out the panels not tied to the patient’s work region in the Orders Panel picklist.
