If you work in an office that has more than one location or workstation the Change Facility menu option lets you switch to another facility without logging out of Clinician. One of the key features of Clinician is its ability to secure information across a large and open network of computers and the people that use them.
When you log into Clinician, you connect to a Data Network on behalf of a facility. A facility is any business, including a hospital, clinic, physician office, laboratory, or payer with a contract to use Clinician.
Your user account links you to one or more facilities. You may be allowed to log in to the Clinician network on behalf of more than one facility. For example, your primary facility may be the office in which you currently work; however, there will also be times when you may need to access the network on behalf of a hospital where you have patients in order to check on their status. In this case, you will be linked to both facilities, your office and the hospital.
