Configurable picklists are divided into two groups: those that are clinical in nature and those that are regulatory or configuration related. You can configure picklists that are clinical in nature in the BH DBPicklists panel and regulatory or configuration-related picklists in the BH Content panel. When you configure picklists, you must reference both BH DBPicklists and BH Content panels. You can configure picklists for individual practices or for your entire enterprise.
You can view the available picklists in the DBPicklist Name grid. You can select a column header to sort the list by that column. In the Comments field, you can mention any additional details.
Note: You must not change the DBPicklist Name field. If you change the name of the picklist, the picklist gets disabled on any template where it refers to.
The List Item field displays the actual value that you need to display in the picklist. Some picklists may contain secondary information that you can use for additional functionality. You can enter the appropriate information in the Qualifiers field.
The following list represents a few instances where you can use the qualifiers:
-
