Practice and Locations

Complete

OpenVPMS structures the business as consisting of a single 'practice' with one or more 'practice locations'.  These locations may represent branches at different addresses, or another component of the business (eg the after hours clinic) that operates at the same address.

It is normal (but not mandatory) to have different tills, bank and OTC accounts, and stock locations for each practice location.

There is no concept of customers (and their patients) 'belonging' to a practice location.  That is, a patient can 'visit' any practice location. However, it is possible to report on activity by practice location.
