Defining Your Organization

Your Imprivata PatientSecure installation is a hierarchical structure of locations, with one or more organizations at the top level. Organizations are divided into facilities, which are in turn divided into departments, which contain machines used by registrars to enroll, authenticate, and validate patients.

Settings are inherited automatically from the top level to the bottom level, unless you change them.

To build an organization:

1. In the Admin Console, go to Settings > Locations.

   The Locations page opens.

2. Click Add an organization.

3. Type a name for the organization, up to 30 characters. The name must be unique; you cannot have two organizations with the same name.

4. Click √ (check mark) to add the new organization, or click x to remove it.

   The top level of your location structure is created and selected. The Add a Facility link is directly below the organization name.

   All of the hospital systems for your location are selected in two lists:

• Authentication displays the hospital systems and associated patient identifiers used during patient authentication.

• Enrollment displays the hospital systems and associated patient identifiers used during patient enrollment.

5. To remove a hospital system from a list, clear the checkbox next to the hospital system name.

   CAUTION: If you have duplicate API tags for patient identifiers in your location, you will see an error message. We recommend that you either change your hospital system selections or edit your Hospital System settings to use unique names for all patient identifier API tags at this location.

6. Click the Patient Identifiers field and select one or more patient identifiers to use with this hospital system in the organization. This way, you can specify different patient identifiers for different locations.

7. To refine your settings, click Options and select one of the following:

   Edit Name	Change the organization name. Click √ (check mark) to save your changes or x to reset the name.
   Reorder Patient Identifiers	Open the Reorder Patient Identifiers dialog to configure the order in which patient identifiers are displayed for Authentication and Enrollment.
   Go to Client Settings	Open the Client Settings page. The new organization is selected in the Locations settings. IMPORTANT: Save any changes to the Locations page before you go to the Client Settings page.
   Delete	Remove this organization from your installation. Any associated facilities and departments will also be deleted. To confirm, click Confirm Delete.

8. Click Save.

You can add levels of facilities and departments to the organization, and create additional organizations in your location.
