Room/Location Management

The terms 'Room' and 'Location' are interchangeable, with both referring to the physical location at which a practitioner resides. There may be instances however where a single location has multiple rooms, and although this is uncommon, Bluechip provides for this scenario.

Rooms are defined by;

• A room number.
• The location at which the room can be found.
• Whether or not the room is 'active'.

  Locations are defined by;

• A name, and its abbreviation.
• A Provider Number (a practitioner must record a different Provider Number against each location at which they practise)
• An associated bank account
• A Location Specific Practice Number (LSPN) if required, for all diagnostic imaging and radiation oncology Practice sites.

  Each location can have a unique letterhead associated with it, and when an account is created in a patient's file, the practitioner and location are both specified. The linking of earnings figures with locations allows you to run separate financial reports for each location. Note also that Rooms/Locations are available to practitioners, but not locums or tenants.
