Case Management Practice Preferences

Case Management enables you to track specific information for work-related accidents, auto accidents, and slip or fall accidents by rolling up encounters on to a case. A patient may have multiple cases running concurrently for different injuries. To enable Case Management in NextGen® Enterprise EHR and NextGen® Enterprise PM, you must enable Case Management in Practice Preferences on the Case Management window.

You can access the Case Management tab through Admin > Practice > Preferences > Case Management in NextGen® Enterprise PM. You can view all case related preferences on the Case Management tab.

When Enable Case Management is selected, Case Description, Onset Date, and Onset Time in the Required Fields section are selected by default. When Enable Case Management is cleared, all the case management preferences are disabled. When you select or clear the required fields and select OK, the changes are applied to the case management.

If you clear Case Description or Onset Date a message appears stating that some of the windows might show empty fields.
