You're invited…to simplify image sharing for HIE organizations

Diagnostic imaging holds significant promise as a foundation for improved patient care and efficiency; however, only a small percentage of today's HIE organizations support the efficient sharing of diagnostic images and imaging data.

Join Nuance, along with guest speakers from Coordinated Care Oklahoma (CCO), for an insightful look at how Nuance Healthcare solutions helped CCO break down HIE data silos and enable a higher level of clinical coordination and business outcomes.

Topic: Simplifying image sharing for HIE organizations

Date: January 19, 2017

Time: 1:30 PM CST

Speakers:

  • Dr. Brian Yeaman, Chief Administrative Officer, Coordinated Care Oklahoma; President and Founder, Yeaman & Associates
  • Grady Cason, Vice President of Business Development, Yeaman & Associates
  • Michelle Sporleder, Senior Manager, PowerShare Product Management, Nuance Healthcare

In this webinar, we will work to raise awareness of the issues and activities involved when making the decision to provide ubiquitous access to diagnostic images. To register, visit engage.nuance.com/CCO_webinar.

Did you know an administrator can copy user account preferences from another user account?

As an administrator you can set preferences for the entire system, for the site, and for individual user accounts. To help facilitate this process on the account level an admin has the option to copy user account preferences from another user account. When this is done it will replicate the same settings, when they are different from the System Preferences.

To assign user preferences:

  1. From the Setup group, click the Accounts tab and select a user for whom you want to set preferences.
  2. Click the Preferences link.

    The Account Preferences dialog displays with the Workflow tab selected by default.

  3. On the Preferences dialog, click Copy. The Copy Preferences dialog displays.

  4. From the Copy dialog, click the Select source account drop-down list, and choose the source account to copy, and then click Copy.
  5. Click Save and Close.

    The users account preferences will now match that of the one that was chosen from the source account list.
