Set Home Page as the Default Template

You can either open the generic Home Page - Ambulatory Surgery template from the Templates module or set it up as the default template that automatically starts as the first template for a new encounter.

The recommended workflow for the Ambulatory Surgery specialty is to begin a patient encounter on the Home Page - Ambulatory Surgery template.

  1. Open NextGen® Enterprise EHR.
  2. Select Tools and select Preferences from the menu bar.

  5. Select Apply and then select OK to save the new preference.
    When you open a new encounter in NextGen® Enterprise EHR, the Home Page - Ambulatory Surgery starts and displays the Udp Visit Types list to select a visit type.
