Site

Description

Site is a concept in the TouchWorks EHR that typically refers to a physical location in the environment. Most clients will have multiple physical locations and this dictionary is meant to store that information. When users log into TouchWorks, they have to choose a default location and can change it if they float. The site is used to drive report addresses in many cases and most clinical items store the site that a clinical item was entered at, so it is also useful for tracking purposes.

Site also allows users to have different print defaults for each location that they work at. When a user sets their site appropriately, the systme will automatically know their defualt printer when previous defaults had been set or defined.
