Considerations

• Is there data we want to capture that isn't already part of the client profile?
• Is it better to capture extra data in a custom field, or should we simply use the Notes field?

Entering Data

Use the standard HealtheFirst interface to enter client custom fields (Clients > [dropdown] > Custom Fields > Create New Custom Field).  Please keep the following in mind:

• As with all manual entry options, this can be slightly labor intensive if there are a large number of fields required for your organization.  However, there are typically only a few custom fields, if any, and manual entry provides the quickest and most reliable way for you to enter data. 
• Typically the "Reimbursement EDI Field" is going to be left blank unless otherwise directed by a HealtheFirst support representative.
• Keep in mind that custom fields can be drag-dropped to be reordered.
