You can generate the Appropriate Use Criteria (AUC) for diagnostic tests.
Before you begin
You must configure the AUC in File Maintenance and map them in the
Care Guidelines Setup practice template for a patient to generate an AUC score for an advanced imaging test and then place the appropriate order. In the
Practice Configuration practice template, you must ensure that the
Enable Appropriate Use Criteria (AUC) Rules check box is selected and the
Enable Order Module check box is not selected.
