Organization Member Registration

There are two role types for organization members: standard and support. Within these two role types, you can set up different specializations (e.g. PCP, nurse, biller) and set different access controls for each specialization.

There is one way to add a new organization member to the EMR:

  1. Manually create an account for the organization member, send the organization an invite email to set up their password for the EMR, and (optionally) invite them to join your company's zoom account

If you are transitioning from another EMR, you can send your contact at Avon a CSV dump of your existing organization member data and they can help upload the data into the Avon EMR.

All of following steps can also be done using Avon's APIs.


Prerequisites

Part 1: Set up medical centers (EMR)

Medical centers is a way to silo data among different medical branches. For example, if your company is working with both Stanford and MGH, you don't want the providers at Stanford to know details about the providers and patients at MGH and vice versa.

With medical centers, you can create two medical centers — one for Stanford and one for MGH and have the data be siloed between them.

Each medical center can have it's own local admins, billing providers, service facilities, referring providers, etc.

Follow the instructions here to set up your medical centers.

Part 2: Set up modules (EMR)

You can hide all of the modules that you are not currently using from both the EMR and patient portal.

Follow the instructions here to set up your modules.

Part 3: Set up specializations (EMR)

For each role type (Standard and Support), you can set up various specializations. You can then set up different access controls per specialization on the module level (e.g. only some specializations are allowed to use the billing module) and on the item level (e.g. only some specializations are allowed to use certain forms).

Follow the instructions here to set up your specializations.

Part 4: Set up access controls (EMR)

You can set up access controls on what different organization members in different specializations can view and do.

Follow the instructions here to set up your access controls.

Part 5: Modify email templates (EMR)

There is a default email template set up for the "Organization Member Invite Email." This can be modified in the email templates section.

Follow the instructions here to modify your email templates.

Part 6: Set up Zoom (EMR)

Organization members with standard role types can be optionally sent an invitation to join your company's zoom account.

Follow the instructions here to set up company Zoom account.

Part 7: Set up custom fields (EMR)

You can create custom fields to extend the information you capture on the standard and support member objects.

Follow the instructions here to set up your custom fields.
