External Provider Reference

The External Provider Reference is an additional external reference you can set up for your personal use. This reference can be any website that you want to refer for additional information. The External Provider Reference is not connected to the HL7 InfoButton, therefore context-sensitive information must be manually mapped to your templates. You can set up the External Provider Reference URL either at the practice level or at the user level. The URL set up at the user level overrides the practice-level preference.
