Adding a Facility

A facility is a physical location associated with an institution. You add facilities when creating or editing an institution.

From the institution's add or edit window, click the Add button located under the Facilities section. The Add Facility dialog box opens with the General tab selected.

NOTE: Field names followed by an asterisk (*) are required. Fields that are self-explanatory, such as City and State, are not described in the table below.

General Tab

Section	Field	Description
General	Default ID*	This is a required value when creating a facility and is the key attribute for the multi-facility integration strategy. When integrating with PowerScribe One or PowerScribe 360 Reporting, this ID must match the Site Name field in PowerScribe One or PowerScribe 360 Reporting. When integrating with PowerScribe for Radiology, this ID must match the HL7 Facility ID in PowerScribe for Radiology. Other third-party APIs will have specific fields that need to be matched to this ID as well.
