Authorization
PiMS stores a set of authorization tables for each physician as well as authorized users. Physicians can be selected by a staff type of “Physician”.
The physician is assigned two ID’s, the authorization member ID which is used by the physician to access PiMS functions and the caregiver code. The caregiver code is used by the system to identify the caregiver and is stored in the Alternate Number table with a key of “CGVR”.
Alternate numbers are also stored for each of the physician’s numbers. Typical numbers include state license (LICN), UPIN, Medicare (CARE) and Medicaid (CAID) numbers.
