Configure the Facility Utilization Setting
Why Configure the Facility Utilization Setting?
The Facility Utilization setting helps to prevent sending referrals to the wrong facilities. This setting allows you to select the specific Target Facilities to which the users in your Medical Practice Account can send referrals. This setting limits the facilities that appear in the Preferred Facilities list of the Create Referral and Edit Referral pages.
Who Can Configure the Facility Utilization Setting?
You must have an administrator role to configure settings.
