  • Hospital Patient Administration Glossary & Guidelines

    GoodX and the medical industry is permeated with jargon that needs to be understood in order to optimally use the GoodX program and understand practice management. GoodX has many different kinds of users in different kinds of settings that use the program in many different ways. For that reason you will find that the same function can be accessed in different modules and different screens, depending on the different workflows of our clients.

    For these reasons we have put together a glossary:

    1. that defines terminology;
    2. that lists and describes GoodX functions;
    3. that provides default shortcuts (if available);
    4. that provides roadmaps of how to access the functions in GoodX; and
    5. that provides links to the relevant user manuals in which the function is described / utilised.

    The glossary entries are cross referenced in the user manuals by means of buttons at the top of the user manuals. This means that the user will have access to all glossary items pertaining to the viewed user manual and can be read without exiting the user manual.

    Take note:

    1. All terms and functions can be viewed Alphabetically OR can be searched for.
    2. For optimal search, use as few words as possible.
    3. Information specific to the Web App and Desktop App will be so indicated.
