Standard Mappings for Shared Dictionaries


Things to watch out for

The hardest dictionary to manage is the referring provider dictionary. Be sure that you have thought this through. If your installation has multiple PM databases, you will want to utilize the PM Replication feature to keep that dictionary in sync for every PM client. This will ensure that the TouchWorks referring provider dictionary will have the appropriate entries. If you do not do this, the TouchWorks side of the dictionary will get messy.
