Creating and Managing External Facility Types 

External Facility Types are the descriptions used for the different types of facilities that you might use. For example, a pharmacy or laboratory. These External Facility Types are used to describe the different External Facilities when they are added in configuration and determine where these facilities appear in the system and in the resident's chart. The External Facility Type determines what appears in the Source Details of the New Order Window at the end user level. You can add, edit, and delete External Facility Types from the Orders Pick List. 

External Facility Types within Orders Pick List can only be configured at the community level. 

Note

You cannot delete External Facility Types that are system set items. 

  1. Care Services > Setup > Pick Lists.

  2. Click External Facility Types. 

    • The list next to the name shows what is currently available to your staff.

  6. In a multi-community organization, when an item is scoped to Corporate, click communities to select which communities can use that item.

  • Go to Pharmacies & Other External Communities to add the names of your external facilities and assign them to an External Facility Type. 

  • At the community level, when all communities are removed from an External Facility Type, that item no longer appears in the listing. To return the item to your list, click Activate, select External Facility Type and click Save.
