Setting Up Your Locations
In this tutorial, you will learn how to set up location information in WRMD. Locations refer to the places where you house your patients in your facility such as their enclosures, rooms, aviaries, etc. Setting up default locations now will make it easier for you when you assign locations to your patients or when searching for them by location.
Step 1
Visit https://www.wrmd.org/signin and log into your account using the username and password that you registered with.
Step 2
To access your account settings, click on your avatar in the upper right corner and choose Settings from the drop-down menu.
Step 3
On the left sidebar, click on General WRMD Settings.
Step 4
Scroll down to the section entitled Your Facility's Locations.
You will see two big blank fields: Area/Rooms and Enclosures. In these fields type in a comma-separated list of all the areas and/or rooms where you house your patients. For example: Aviary Complex, ICU, Bird Room, Treatment Room, Mammal Room, etc.
Where do you see the default locations on the patient record?
The default locations on the patient record can be found in the Location tab, which is situated in the upper right corner of each patient's record. The location descriptors specified in Location Settings will automatically appear in this tab. To assign a location to a patient, simply click on "Save a New Location," and a new textbox will open. Within this textbox, you'll find a drop-down menu containing all the locations you have saved, providing a convenient way to select and assign locations to patients.
Step 5
Once you have inputted your facility locations, remember to click the green Update Locations button to save your work.
