This menu allows you to customize your experience with SynaMed's application.

Functional Items Description
[ Physician's Profile ] This option will only appear when you log in as a physician. In here the physician is able to maintain his/her own physician profile information. All fields marked with an * are required.
Maintain Staff ] For physicians only, you can assign rights to your staff.
[ Favorite Codes ] You can create your favorite Encounter Forms here.
[ Maintain User Group ] You can bunch together a group of users into one container called a group. You can use this to assign tasks to that group with one click of a button instead of selecting multiple users for each task. (Support for groups for messaging is coming soon). User group names cannot have spaces and must be treated like a userID.
[ Maintain Patient Group ] In certain instances, you may want to group together patients. This function is based on the same principals of [ Maintain User Groups ] above.
[ Subjective Templates ] This option allows you to customize templates or configure default templates for use in the [ Subjective ] section when [ Conducting an Office Visit ].
[ PMH Templates ] This option is similar to that of Subjective templates above, but it is designed to customize and maintain PMH templates.
Procedure Templates ] This option is similar to that of Subjective templates above, but it is designed to customize and maintain Procedure templates.
Patient Notes ] You can edit items in your [ ROS ] and [ Physical Exam ] tabs here.
Manage Dropdowns ] All dropdown menus and their respective lists are maintained here.

Note: SynaMed utilizes permissions control and a layered sharing design to restrict access when appropriate.

  • Permissions is the assignment of access rights between physicians and other physicians and staff.
  • The layered sharing design is separated into System, Group and User scopes. The layered sharing design is used to share items such as templates and dropdown lists.
    • System - Everyone with a SynaMed account can view and use an item.
    • Group  - Only people with the same practice group can view and use an item.
    • User - Only the person who created the item can view and use it.

FAQ:

Are there any restrictions to the kind of character and the length I use for a custom cpt code?

It has a maximum length of 15 characters, it should not contain any funky characters, especially spaces, commas, dashes, or colons, and it should not be a substring (part of) a real cpt code.
