    • TouchWorks EHR patient database
    • Transcribed documents
  • Bookshelf
    • Medical specialty sites offering up-to-date medical articles
    • Online medical sources
    • Continuing education offerings
  • Local Links - unique to the organization

Additional Details

Per 11.4.1 HF1 release notes: The Allscripts TouchWorks EHR application has been updated so that the Physician Homebase module now contains only "Local Links" and "Personalize" tabs. Additionally, the Physician Homebase User option in TWUser Admin has been removed.


According to the development team: The data for Bookshelf comes from TW Admin > PHB Comp Admin. Any bookshelf items should be added to the Local Links. If there are any Personal Links then they need to be moved to Local Links.


Notes

  • Homebase is generally discouraged in a Citrix environment due to bandwidth and security risks.
