This screen is a one stop shop where users can create, edit and maintain catalog items, digital documents, digital document elements and other components that may be tied to documents and/or requests.

Catalog Search

Here you can search, create and maintain Catalog Items. Each catalog item is tied to a document or request. You can tie charges and verification requirements to a catalog item which in turn are applied when the document or request tied to the catalog item are used in the system. Before you can setup catalog items, you must have catalogs setup. The catalog helps tied catalog items to a unit. Instructions on how to setup a catalog can be found under the hospital setup documentation.
