Introduction
On this page, we will describe the use and purpose of Locations and Groups in Noah ES, for users with the required permissions. We will introduce the prerequisites for using completing this guide, Creating steps for creating a location or group, and show how to add your users and your patients to said a location.
Why locations and groups?
Locations and groups were added to Noah ES as a way for users to regulate and segment their database. For example adding all the patients who frequent a particular clinic, to a location in Noah ES, that represents that physical location and then further adding all the relevant clinical staff who see patients in that particular location. This way only the staff for whom it is relevant to this patient, will be able to see their patient data, providing additional security and control for the owner of an account.
Creating a Location
Congratulations you already created your first location! This is to say that all patients, when they enter when you sign up for Noah ES, are automatically assigned you have created a default location , under the name of the business . However, if and the BDM user account has been automatically assigned to that location.
If you wish to create additional locations, you may do so by following the following steps below. Please note that when you migrate a database to Noah ES, if you have set up Locations and/or groups, you can select the location in the Migration Utility and have all patient records being migrated assigned to that location.
