Clinical Work Area Options

Select this option to change default settings for the Clinical Work Area (CWA). The CWA is primarily used by medical staff during the patient care process.

Set the clinic's order creation preference when a record is added to the Medical History tab in the CWA, where vitals, medications, immunizations, and allergies/conditions are displayed. Adding an order helps to document this activity, and potentially you could even use the order to bill for this if desired.
Note: No order is created if the user simply writes in the white memo area on the Medical History tab.
