Create Work Location - EPRMP.03

Add a New Work Location

A work location should only be added when the correct one does not exist – don’t add a duplicate of one that has been added by another source. You can add a new work location for providers who work in your work location when required by entering the following information:

• purpose (always choose Health Information Distribution from the drop down list)
• location name (e.g., Victoria Clinic)
• work location identifier (PLR auto generates one if not provided); and
• effective start date

You can also include one or more of the following (optional):

• addresses
• telecommunication numbers (e.g., telephone and fax)
• electronic addresses (e.g., email or website); and
• effective start date (for each of the above)

Contact Information

You can only add one of each of the following business contact elements in the work location record:

• physical address
• mailing address
• telephone number
• cellular (mobile) number
• fax number
• email address; and
• web site address

Note: Either 'BC' (Business Contact)' or 'HC' (Home Contact) can be used to identify the purpose. BC is preferred.
