Dictionary Management
Dictionary Management is a key section because it contains customizable objects used for making work requests, creating admin tool objects, filtering reports, and other miscellaneous reasons. Dictionaries are used by administrators to manage lists of options within the application. It exists to provide flexibility and customization in various workflows and is used whenever there is a need to update or manage these lists.
Where you can find this feature: Navigate to Admin > Settings > Capacity Management > Dictionary Management.
How Dictionary Management Works
Functionality
Dictionary Items can be application-specific, admin tool only, or for all applications and admin. They are generally simple and easy to create or configure. Think of them as seasonings to food – some are more useful than others, and they may not be necessary in all areas.
The Dictionary holds “LISTS” where users can pick options such as isolations, reason codes, and patient types.
Workflows
Update Dictionary Items
Navigate to Admin > Settings > Capacity Management > Dictionary Management.
Select one of the dictionary items to update from the list by clicking on its name.
You will then be able to Add, Edit, or Delete dictionary items.
