Set Home Page as the Default Template

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

  1. In NextGen® Enterprise EHR, click Tools and select Preference from the top menu bar to open the Preferences template.
    Preferences

  2. Click the Templates tab.
  3. From the Default Template list, select gi_home_page.
    Home Page

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