Associations Window

Path: Patient>General>Associations

With the Associations window, you can assign associations to the selected patient. When a new association is added to the Allscripts Homecare application, an administrator can set it as Assigned so it will be assigned to each new patient (added after the association creation) automatically. For all existing patients, this association becomes available; however, a clinician should assign it manually in the Associations window. For each particular patient, the associations can later be changed (assigned or unassigned) using this window.

The Associations window contains the following fields:

>

Assigned – Indicates whether the corresponding association is assigned to this patient.

>

Association – Displays the association name.

>

Association ID – Contains the alphanumeric ID for the patient association. Defining ID for association is not required.
