Groups is a way to virtually connect multiple facilities running AMSHub. Whether they’re next door, across town, or across the country from each other, any facilities running AMSHub can use Groups to connect and share numerous features and data points between them.
Enabling Groups
If you have multiple facilities using AMSHub, odds are someone from our implementation team has asked you if your facilities should be connected as a Group. If not, reach out to us and let us know which facilities should be connected. As a free service, someone from our team will make the changes in AMSHub enabling this feature for your facilities.
Group Manager
If you are a group manager for your facilities, you will select the Group View when you log in. This dashboard includes expanded data about your facilities including comprehensive Procedure and Provider summaries across your group. You can also update Group settings from this view as well.
Group Analytics
Take some time to look at the different group reports that give you an at a glance look at information for your group as well as each individual facility. You are likely already familiar with these reports as they are part of the traditional reports/analytics, but looking at these reports from the group side allows you to see all of the facility and group information without having to go between facilities using the drop-down menu.
Things You Can Do With Groups
One of the unique things about Groups is that it adds numerous features and benefits throughout the AMSHub platform. New pages may appear, or new buttons or links may appear, all to provide you with added capabilities to better manage multiple facilities in your newly created group.
You can also see all users that have access to a site in Settings > AMSHub Users. This allows you to see a list of exactly which users can see and work within each facility no matter what site they were granted access at. Tech Admins and Facility Admins also have the ability to grant a user access to other facilities in the group. When adding new AMSHub Users, you have the ability to pick existing users from other locations within your group. On the Settings > AMSHub Users page when you click Add User you can choose Add from Group to access this new feature and choose an existing user, or use Add Manually to add a new user to the system that doesn’t exist in AMS currently.
You can easily check inventory levels for an item at your other locations. When viewing an Inventory item’s details, you’ll see a red boxes icon next to your On Hand quantity. Click this icon to open a window that will provide on-hand levels for this item at your other locations. This can be helpful when doing Inter-facility Inventory Transfers.
