Setting Up Locations

After you set up one or more hospital systems, you can define the hierarchy of locations in your installation. Imprivata PatientSecure provides a range of options to configure your installation from the top level, an organization, to the lowest level, an individual machine:

  1. Organization

  2. Facility

  3. Department

  4. Machine

Changes made at the organization level are inherited by each subordinate level of your installation. If you customize a setting below the organization level, the change is inherited from that level to its subordinate levels, for example:

  • For organization A, all settings you select are inherited by all facilities, departments, and machines in that organization.

  • For organization A, Facility B, any setting you change is inherited by all departments and machines in Facility B, but not in its peers in the organization, Facility A and Facility C.

As you work with Imprivata PatientSecure in your organization, you can refine your settings.
