Description

Use the Users page to view the user list, as well as add or edit user demographics, accounts, practice memberships, and host codes. You must first select or add a user before you can perform any of these tasks.

Note

The data displayed on this page depends on the column view settings for your facility. The system uses the column view settings to control what columns appear in the tables on this page and the order in which it sorts the displayed information.

You may set column view rules at the location or the system default levels. The rules for the signed-in location, if available, supersede the system default column view rules.

Note

Selecting this checkbox will prevent results from being sent to EMRs.

Always available as ordering provider

Select this checkbox to make this user available as the ordering provider for every location, no matter what practice. This setting overrides the list of practices the user is assigned to in the Member of These Practices section.

Looking up patients

These options affect the patients the system displays when this user searches for patients and orders on the Find Patient or Order page, the Order History page, or using the Find Patient field at the top of the application.

If the user is defined as a system clinical user, then that status overrides these checkboxes.

Find PatientSearch for patients.
Show patients from any practice for whom this user has been an ordering providerSelect this option to allow the user to search for patients or orders, regardless of the practice, where this user was the ordering provider. When selected, the system displays patients who belong to practices the user is associated with, as well as any additional patients from other practices for whom the user has been the ordering provider. This setting allows the user to search for patients who belong to practices that the provider does not belong to.

If a testing facility restriction has been defined, the user has the Edit AP Settings button set on the facility when working on cases for the testing facility. If a testing facility restriction has not been defined for the testing facility that the user is working on cases for, the Edit AP Settings set at the top of the Testing Facility Restrictions pop-up is used instead. The AP Testing Facility Settings pop-up has the following settings you can turn on and off for the user:

  • I can enter data for myself on AP Worksheets: Typically for pathologists, pathologist assistants, cytotechs, or other staff who enter data into AP Worksheets for themselves. This setting is typically disabled for a user that enters data into the AP Worksheet for others: a transcriptionist for example.

This percentage can be different for every GYN cytology primary screener user, and a user's percentage may change over time. This field is available when the I am a Primary Screener checkbox is selected. 
  • I am a QC Screener

    Note

    It is best practice to set up QC Screeners as both a Primary Screener and a QC Screener by selecting both the I am a Primary Screener and I am a QC Screener checkboxes. 

    • Default signature action text: From the drop-down list, choose what text will automatically accompany the user's signature when they issue an AP report. Options are:
      • Electronically signed by

  • I can enter data for these users on AP Worksheet: Select or enter text in this search-as-you-type field to search for and select other users that this user can enter data for on the AP Worksheet. When this current user is entering data on the AP Worksheet, the users selected here will be available for selection in the Enter Data For field on the AP Worksheet header.
  • These users can enter data for me on AP Worksheet: Select or enter text in this search-as-you-type field to search for and select users that this current user is allowing to enter data for them on the AP Worksheet.

Ignore Signed-in Location Based Testing Facility Restrictions in Work in Progress and Dashboard

Select the checkbox to have the system ignore the signed-in location testing facility restrictions on the Work in Progress and Dashboard pages. This checkbox allows the user to see results for all testing facilities to which he or she is mapped.

State Licenses

Select the button to open the State Licenses pop-up, where you can assign states to the user. For example, you assign a pathologist user states in which they have medical licenses. That way, if a user attempts to assign a case to a pathologist who does not have a license in the ordering state, the system displays a warning message. 

Selected States: Select in or begin typing in the search-as-you-type field to search for and select the states to assign to the user. 

Select: Clear the checkbox to remove the state from the list. 

System Clinical User

Select this checkbox for users who require access to patient results or information across all practices. This is a powerful setting, as it overrides some security and preference settings out of necessity to allow the user to access patient information across practices. For example, system clinical users are not affected by the Override required fields right. So they may, for example, bypass clinical questions even if they are required for other users, unless you assign the Enforce entry of required clinical info regardless of other rights right to the system clinical user's security role.

Access restricted practices

Select this checkbox to allow the system clinical user to access practices that have restrictions applied.

The System Clinical User checkbox must be selected in order to select this checkbox.

Medical DirectorSelect this checkbox for users who you'd like to define as medical directors in the system. If the user is defined as a medical director, you can assign them to a host or testing facility in the Hosts or Testing Facilities pages.

If the user is defined as a medical director, you can also add them to report footers through Layout Templates.

Lab Director

Select this checkbox for users you'd like to define as lab directors in the system. If the user is defined as a lab director, you can assign them to a host or testing facility in the Hosts or Testing Facilities pages.

If the user is defined as a lab director, you can also add them to report footers through Layout Templates.

Client Services Sales PersonSelect this checkbox to designate the user as a sales person within the system.
Restrict to assigned clients when viewing Client Services

Select this checkbox to limit the assessable clients and items within the Client Services module. The Client Services module must be enabled to utilize the setting and should be used alongside the Role right Client Services Sales Person. The Sales Person search-as-you-type fields on both the Admin: Locations and the Admin: Client Services pages will only display the user's name if these settings are selected and the Role right is turned on.

Restrict patient access to only those visible through an associate

Select this option to restrict access to patients based on users' associates during patient or order searches on the Order Patient Samples, Patient Search, Pending Orders, Collect Samples, Pending Collection, and Order History pages. You may use this setting in conjunction with the Include information visible to associates in patient/order searches option set on the System Defaults administration page.

  • If this setting is enabled but the system default setting is disabled, then no patients/orders will be available to search.
  • If both this setting and the system default setting are enabled, the system only includes in searches those patients who have been added through enabling the system default setting.
  • If this setting is disabled, but the system default setting is enabled, users have access to any patients they would normally have access to, as well as any patients visible to users for whom they are associates. On the Order Patient Samples page, the system takes into account associate settings for including or restricting displayed patients to those ordered for. On all other affected pages, the system displays only patients for which associates have been ordering providers.
Restrict associate user access to patients for whom this user has been an ordering provider

Select this option to restrict access to associates' patients based on ordering provider status. If a signed-in user is marked as an associate for a user with this setting enabled, the system will only grant access to patients that the user with the setting has been an ordering provider for. This setting applies to searches on the Order Patient Samples page, as well as on the User Inbox page, when a user is viewing the results for an associate with this setting enabled.

Harvest LIS Tech/Order Entry

Select this checkbox for users who are set up as Tech/Order Entry personnel in Harvest LIS.

Note

This checkbox is only available when sync is enabled in the system.

Session Timeout (Minutes)

Clear this option and set the number of minutes for the user's session timeout (between 5 and 60 minutes) in the Session Timeout (Minutes) field to use these settings for the current user in place of the system default settings.

Inactivate User After

Enter a date value in the format MM/DD/YYYY in the fields to have the system automatically inactivate the user's account at 12:05 AM on the selected date.

To modify the date, change the values in the fields, or select a date from the calendar view by selecting the calendar icon located next to the Inactivate User After fields.

If you enter the current date, but it is after 12:05 AM, the system will not inactivate the user until the next day.
