The General group under the OPERATION rights in the System Administrator application provides access rights of the security items for the Security Group in the NextGen® Enterprise PM.
The following lists the security items in the System Administrator application for the Security Group.
| Security Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Account Lookup Existing Accounts Only | Enables the Existing Accounts Only check box on the Account Lookup window. This retrieves both the persons and patients who have account profiles in the Account Lookup window. |
| Archived ERA File Lookup | Enables users to select the 835 ERA File option as search criteria in the File Archive Search window from the menu. |
| Bad Debt Process | Enables users to access the Bad Debt option from the menu so they can process bad debt encounters from the prelisted encounters, for collections. |
| Change Practice | Enables users to change from one practice to another practice that they have rights to without having to log out. |
| Checkin | Enables users to check in (time-stamp) a patient upon arrival for an appointment and group appointment. The time stamp is used for tracking appointment duration from check-in to check-out. |
| Checkout | Enables users to access the Autoflow Checkout process when a patient leaves from an appointment. Enables users to access the group checkout process without Autoflow when a patient leaves from a group appointment. |
| Client Defined | Not an active option! This option is used for custom programming. |
| Demographic Client Defined | Enables users to add values "on the fly" to the Religion and Church client defined fields on the Patient Information window and Person Information window. These values are also added to the related master lists in File Maintenance. This right does not control user ability to modify the client-defined fields in the Enterprise Preferences. For more information about these client-defined fields, see Client Defined tab under Enterprise Preferences in the Preferences chapter. |
