The MPI limits user access to person records and it can be defined at one of three levels:
- System – All person records are shared globally. This is the default level.
- Enterprise – Person records are shared within the enterprise in which they are created.
- Practice – Person records are shared within the practice in which they are created.
CAUTION:
The MPI can only be redefined from a higher level to a lower level. For example, it can be redefined from System to Enterprise, but not from Enterprise to System. You cannot change the levels within the
NextGen® Enterprise application. MPI definition changes must be configured and approved by NextGen HealthCare Consulting Services.
The System level MPI functions similarly to previous versions of the NextGen® Enterprise application. If you had previous versions installed, changing to a MPI definition other than System can severely affect your existing interfaces and third-party systems because enterprises and practices will not be automatically assigned to existing person records. You must contact NextGen HealthCare Consulting Services to properly configure your data.
