Make UDS Fields Available for Enterprises
The Uniform Data System (UDS) fields are used only for UDS reporting. When UDS fields are available, the UDS tab is displayed in the Add/Modify Patient Information window in NextGen® Enterprise EHR and NextGen® Enterprise PM. In this tab, users can select the appropriate UDS values for each person/patient. You can configure the fields on the UDS tab to be mandatory for users. Note: If certain UDS fields are set as mandatory, you should create an appropriate item in the corresponding master list table to use when the field does not apply to a person or patient. For example, if tribal affiliation is required but a person or patient has no tribal affiliation, you can create and use a master list item such as No Affiliation. The Consent To Treat checkbox and the Consent To Treat Date field on the UDS tab cannot be required. The head of household can be required only when users modify a patient chart. When the Head of Household field is required, users must first select a head of household
