Miscellaneous Lists Maintenance

Use Miscellaneous Lists Maintenance to maintain value lists for each of the drop-down fields used in a variety of places in EPM including fields for standard maintenance, such as, diagnoses, providers, procedures, insurances, referrals and appointment visit types.  In addition, you can maintain value lists for certain miscellaneous fields.  A value list is simply a list of choices that displays as a drop-down list for a field within a specific window, panel or tab.  Maintaining the miscellaneous value lists allows you to quickly and easily enter the patient encounter information.
