Ophthalmic Provider Configuration Options

The Provider Specialty grid on the Eye Configuration practice template displays details for providers that have been set up with special configurations and permissions specific to NextGen® Ophthalmic Suite including:

  • Assign providers to different sub-specialties of Ophthalmology.

    Setting the sub-specialty for Ophthalmology providers causes template navigation to automatically be configured for their sub-specialty when they open the Ophthalmology templates. This setting is optional for generalists.

  • Give privileges to individual providers to be able to copy forward portions of their last exams to a new encounter.

    By default, the Copy last exam forward option is not selected.

  • Allow the Provider HPI Details section of the Ophthalmology Generic HPI to be editable by the technician or scribe for an individual provider. By default, the Provider section of the HPI is not editable by the technician or scribe.
  • Set a Default specialty for the provider.
