IHS Specific Master Lists
When enabled, a UDS tab displays on the Add/Modify Patient Information window in NextGen® Enterprise PM. The tab includes fields for capturing additional patient demographic information used by IHS practices for reporting purposes.
The UDS tab and related IHS fields are enabled at the enterprise level. Therefore, they are available to all practices in the enterprise.
The pick-list items available for user selection in each IHS field are created in the corresponding Master Lists tables in File Maintenance.
The following Master List tables must be manually created since the items in each table may vary for each IHS practice:
- Blood Quantum
- Descendancy
- IHS Eligibility Status
The following Master List tables can be pre-loaded after the NextGen® Enterprise applications are installed by using the IHS Report Export Utility provided by NextGen Technical Consulting Services:
- Classification/Beneficiary
- Community Code
- Tribal Affiliation
