Location handling

To simplify and speed up navigation in the system, set up user-defined elements, such as appointment symbols or stock types, as belonging to a specific location with Location and Department filtering.

Physical places or teams of users

Filtering can be made both on Locations, physical places, and/or on Departments, and anything that should be logically grouped, such as symbols, letters, and waiting lists. A Paediatric Department, for instance, could include the symbols for paediatric clinics/appointments, the letters for paediatric clients and waiting lists in use. That department can work across more than one hospital. Then AuditBase users specialising in the paediatric service and working at, for instance, St Mary’s Hospital can set their default filtering Department as ‘Paediatric’ and default Location as ‘St Mary’s Hospital’. PCs that are generally used in the paediatric service at St Mary’s can be set to the default Location of ‘St Mary’s and the Department of ‘Paediatric’.

Many Auditbase solutions demonstrate a large number of staff working in different teams or in different locations using a common Auditbase database. They provide a continuous, seamless service to clients through shared access to the clients’ current record. Working in this way has huge benefits to clients and users but can result in an unmanageable array of different appointment symbols or statuses, timetable symbols, letter templates, resources, waiting lists, stock types, diagnoses, and document types. With Location and Department Filtering in Auditbase, these user-defined elements can be set as belonging to a specific location, thus simplifying the user interface and speeding up navigation around the system.
As well as being used to organise elements more efficiently, users can be associated with just the Locations and Departments that they are allowed to access. The user can then choose one or more of their permitted Locations and Departments from the toolbar dropdown list. Patients can be associated with Locations to restrict access to them.
