Location Restrictions

You can further restrict NextGen® Enterprise PM user actions in non-preferred locations by removing some practice-level security rights that were previously granted to a user. The removal of security applies to the user only at his or her non-preferred locations. For example, John was granted the Charge Entry permission for his security group, but Charge Entry is now disabled for him on the Loc. Restrict tab. The result is that John can access charge entry and enter or edit charges for encounters only at his preferred locations. Location-level security cannot allow greater access than what is defined at the practice level. So, if Mary is a member of a security group that does not have the Charge Entry permissions, you cannot give her permissions at the location level.

The defined security for a user at the non-preferred locations is practice-specific and does not restrict what the user can do at the non-preferred locations within other practices.

You can remove the following security rights for NextGen® Enterprise PM functions:

• MODULES > Charge Entry
• MODULES > Transactions > Balance Control
• MODULES > Transactions > Transaction Adjustments/Refunds
• MODULES > Transactions > Transaction Payments
• MODULES > Encounters > Add Patient Encounter
• MODULES > Encounters > Delete Patient Encounter
• MODULES > Encounters > Update Patient Encounter

For descriptions of the security rights, see Subgroups of the MODULES Permissions Group or Subgroups of the OPERATIONS Permissions Group.

By default, all rights are selected. All changes to these security rights will be logged as Security Item Modified system-level significant events when the significant event is enabled.
