Sec. 11, Health Providers

The Health Providers program is a database of the medical providers that are used by the students of the school. Each student submits medical provider information to the school during registration. The provider information is entered into the Health Providers program and then assigned (linked) to each student via the Health Information program (see Sec. 2). The Health Providers program allows for multiple addresses per provider as well as an memo field for notes. "Providers" will include all types of health practitioners: doctors, dentists, clinics, HMOs, hospitals, insurance plans, therapists, etc.

11.1 Open Health Providers
Click on the Providers button in the Health module's main menu screen (or ALT+P on the keyboard). The initial screen (Fig. 41) will be in the read-only mode (signified by the gray background color of the data fields).
