Provider | Select this checkbox if the user is an ordering provider. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
External | Select this checkbox to designate the user as an ordering provider who is not a member of your organization. For example, you may need to do this if a patient receives testing orders from an outside specialist. In this case, you need to add the outside specialist as the ordering provider, but this provider does not need to be given full access to the system. 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 Patient | Search for patients. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Show patients from any practice for whom this user has been an ordering provider | Select this option to allow the user to search for patients or orders, regardless of the practice, where this user was the ordering provider.

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:
The AP Testing Facility Settings pop-up has the following sections where you can further configure what the user can do:
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
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. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

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.
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
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. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

For RAPS or Direct Printing, select Search to select the printer for remote or direct printing from the RAPS Printer Search or Direct Printing administration pages. See the RAPS Printer Search or Direct Printing topics. When the user receives results that utilize these delivery rules, the selected printer will automatically print the results. Note The user must be assigned to a practice that is part of a remote printing group and the user's record must be saved before the RAPS delivery method is available. RAPS must be installed on the user's workstation for that method to work. See the Result Delivery topic. |
Report Engine | Select an option from the drop-down list to choose between generating internal, external, or mixed result reports. Select one of the following options from the drop-down list:
|
Use cover page | Select this option to have the system include a cover page with fax transmissions sent to you. Note The system default setting to use cover pages must also be enabled for this option to take effect. |
Report Header/Report Body/Report Footer/Report Page Footer | The system selects the Standard Format patient report format settings automatically; however, you may select a different format for the header, body, footer, and/or page footer of patient lab reports. This list includes the standard format and alternate format 1 options, as well as any result header, body, footer, and/or page footer templates defined in the Layout Templates administration page that have been made live in the system. See the Layout Templates topic. The system uses these settings when printing the lab report from the User Inbox. Once the system creates a report using these settings, it will not update the report if you make changes to the header, body, footer, and/or page footer. Note The system uses the location's report format settings when printing the lab report from the Location Inbox, and it uses the system default report delivery format settings when printing the lab report from other locations within the system. See the Lab Report topic. |

All Results | Select this option to receive all of the results that have been received for the order, including those that may have been reported previously. When this is selected, each time order choices in an order are resulted or approved and sent back to the system, the system creates a new lab report that includes the latest results for every order choice in the order, regardless of approved/unapproved status. The system displays unapproved order choices as Pending. Note You may select the Reprint Past Print Jobs button to view or print any of the previous lab reports created for the selected order on the User Inbox page. |
New Results Only | Select this option to receive only the results that have come in for the order since the last report you received. When this is selected, each time order choices in an order are resulted or approved and sent back to the system, the system creates a new lab report that includes only the results for the order choices that were received. Note The system creates a lab report on the User Inbox page that contains all approved results that have accumulated since the last time a user selected the Acknowledge Selected button for the selected order. This means that lab reports you create in the User Inbox page could appear differently from the reports the system sends via email or fax when this setting is enabled. |
Stop Delivery | Select an option to determine how result delivery rules will fire. Note These settings are not available for the Inbox delivery method. |
Deliver to All | Select this option to have all result delivery rules fire if they qualify for the associated delivery method. |

Select the up or down arrows to set the precedence order in which the system applies the rules for a method. By default, the system will deliver results for the method (fax, email, inbox, etc.) using the first unique delivery rule that fits the result's criteria. It will evaluate the rules for the method in the order you set here. If you are not using system default delivery rules, select the name of a Delivery Method to modify delivery rules in the Result Delivery Rule page. You may not modify methods defined as default (see above) or that are from the System Defaults administration page. |
