Description: Equivalent agent with alternative name or alternative chemical description.
Key Concepts: Equivalent agent is a feature in the IS-HMED Clinical System that allows users to assign a substitute for a particular user in the system. This substitute can be used to perform tasks that the original user would have done, such as entering orders or making changes to patient records. The equivalent agent feature is useful for situations where the original user is unavailable or unable to perform their duties. How to use it: To use the equivalent agent feature, first select the user you want to assign as an equivalent agent. Then, select the tasks that you want the equivalent agent to be able to perform. Finally, save your changes and the equivalent agent will be able to perform those tasks on behalf of the original user. Tips & Tricks: When assigning an equivalent agent, make sure that you select only those tasks that are necessary for them to perform. This will help ensure that only authorized users are able to access sensitive patient information. Additionally, it is important to remember to remove the equivalent agent when they are no longer needed. Related Information: The equivalent agent feature is similar to delegation of authority, which is a feature in many other SAP systems. Delegation of authority allows users to assign another user as an authorized representative for certain tasks or activities.
