Scheduling
Summary
This enhancement to User Preferences adds the ability to set an MR Magnet Type preference that can be utilized when exams are being scheduled on the Referring Provider Portal.
Previously, when a referring provider preferred their patients be scanned on a specific type of MRI, that detail was kept as a note and schedulers had to be aware of it.
With this change, the MRI Magnet Type preference value will now automatically default to the physician's preference when scheduling MRI exams from the Provider Portal.

This new feature only controls the return of time slots in the Referring Portal. Future enhancements will also update behavior from the Scheduling and Patient portals. |
Feature Description
A new MRI Magnet Type preference field is now available to be configured on either the Referring Preferences tab in the Personnel lookup or on the Account tab in the Provider Admin portal.
This field can only be set for users with the Referring Resource checked, and only active MRI Magnet Types will display in the dropdown.
When scheduling MRI exams within the Referring Provider Portal, MRI Magnet Type preference will now default to the physician's preference (e.g. 3T) and the options provided will reflect that selection. If no preference is configured, appointment options with any magnet type will be returned.
