In this screen you can add or modify the information of persons who are allowed to work with
FreeMED.
- In the User tab, one sets the "Username" and the "Password". If you enter a password,
complete the registration process and then later return to this screen, you will see that
there are many more stars in the Password box then what you entered. This is due to
encryption of the password and is not an error.
You can then add the "Description" of the person which is usually the person's name.
"User type" allows you to choose Physician or Miscellaneous. Only physicians are allowed to
enter and alter progress notes for instance.
"Actual Physician" allows you to associate this login name with a physician within the
organization.
- In the Access Control Lists tab, one sets the access sections of the record.
"Administrator", "Billers", "Data Emtry" "Local Administrators", "Providers" and
"Schedulers" are granted access to the section of the chart with which they need to work.
- In the Authorize tab, one sets the authorized facilities to which the user has
access, the physicians with whose records the user is allowed the work and the physician
groups with which one can work. For instance, if the clinic has multiple sites, then one
can set the site with which a user can work.
