I have a question about an authorization issue I am having and wonder if anyone has encountered this or has any solution
Is it possible to restrict authorizations for providers? I am working on getting OpenEMR up and running for a small non-profit mental health organization and all of their
billing must be done under a professional with a PhD. Therapists that see the clients however are all licensed social workers.
If the therapists are NOT marked as Providers then they cannot use the full calendar functions, but if they are then the can authorize their own encounters etc which is unacceptable in this case
as they have to be authorized by the individual with the PhD.
I have tried the following options.
1. Making the therapists providers and setting see auth to NONE.
2. setting them as Clinicians and or doctors and giving them access to the calendar settings, which is wrong I know but I am trying everything.
3. Creating a new group ‘Supervisor’ and trying to use that as the only authorized person.
Regardless of what I try either the therapists have No access to calendar scheduling etc or they have the ability to authorize anything.
It seems that the ‘Provider’ selection overrides everything even the settings chosen in ACL.
