Parameters

Learning Objectives

• Identify the characteristics of parameters and how they are used in Electronic Health Record (EHR) Setup

• Examine the menu options used to review and edit various parameters

• Identify how selected parameters relate to the configuration of the EHR Graphical User Interface (GUI)

• As a team, identify the values of selected parameters and perform the initial EHR Parameter Setup using the parameters

Definition of “Parameter”

• Allows CAC to configure RPMS-EHR for Site vs. having Programmer make custom Program

• Provides hierarchical settings from User up to Package

Package levels should never be changed

Definition

• System levels set the parameter for all users

• Program checks for user level

• If set, takes value and quits

• If not set, goes to next highest setting

• Quits when it finds a value, up to package

Setting Parameters

• Most are set using EHR Menu Options

• Site managers can access all Parameters using the General Parameter Tools option
