How do you link a profile to a department?

Linking a profile to a department is typically carried out within the Administrative functions of the EpicCare system, specifically through navigation that addresses the facility structure. The correct method involves accessing the broader structure setup where departments and their related units are managed.

In this case, the appropriate steps include navigating to the Admin section, selecting Facility Structure, then Departments, and finally Units. Once within the desired department, the configuration for linking profiles can be found by looking at the 'Default Profile for workstation in Dept' section. This specific area allows administrators to assign which profile will be used by workstations associated with that department, ensuring that the appropriate settings and access are applied to users operating in that unit.

Understanding this process is crucial because it directly impacts the operational functionality of the department by ensuring that the staff have access to the necessary tools and information based on their role. Other options may redirect users to different areas of system administration unrelated to the specific task of linking profiles, emphasizing the importance of understanding navigation within the Epic system.
