Define the acuity rules used for acuity scoring. Rules are categorized first by practitioner discipline then by domain.

Go to: Avatar RADplus > Acuity > Acuity Rule Definition
In the Practitioner Category field, select the practitioner category for coverage for which to configure the acuity rule.

- Note: Domain is set up in the RADplus_Client file (field: 52002) of the Dictionary Update form.
Check the Hide Inactive Rules box to filter out inactive rules from the Acuity Rules Grid. Rules that change over time and are no longer valid can be inactivated from the grid.
If you wish to copy an existing category/domain rule set, select the existing category in the Category To Copy From field.
Click Define Acuity Rules to launch the Acuity Rules Grid.
Click Submit.
