Specialty Codes

 Top  Previous  Next

Specialty Codes are used to help categorize staff members.  Each Staff Type supports a "process-as" type.  These "process-as" types are Physician, Resident, Nurse, and Student and control certain logic in MedSuite.  For example, only a physician may be entered into the anesthesiologist field in the Anesthesia tab of Visit Entry and only a Nurse, Resident, or Student may be entered into the anesthetist field in the Anesthesia tab of Visit Entry.  This is but one example.
