Is it possible to have CPS 12.x select the Location of Care during log in automatically, perhaps using a network address or something similar? Does anyone have a method of doing this?

If you set the users default home location in their user settings, this will do it for you, however if they are working in multiple locations, then they will have to change it when they are at one of the other locations.

Yes, they are working at multiple locations, one of which uses Provider Based Billing - hence the issue. I do not think it's possible, but I keep getting told that 'if Google and Amazon can do it surely Centricity should be able to.'

lol, who ever is telling you this, must think you are a GE Centricity Coder... I do a lot of coding and make custom stuff, but at this moment there is no way to set that up through CPS. But now thinking about it, it still might be possible, but through the database, but I have to do some testing. To see how fast everything reacts to triggers on when a user opens CPS to when the popup comes up and sees the change.
This is my maybe idea:
dbo.iLicUserInfo :::: this table is used to record what Computer is logged into and with what login.
if you build a trigger that says, if this computer that is inserting into this table belongs to this location, then update USR table HOMELOCATION = Whatever the ID is...
might be a long shot, but it might work as well. But would have to do a lot of testing on that to see if it actually does what it needs to before that popup window comes up.

And that would be an excellent notion - except that these guys carry issued personal laptops with them to each location they visit, so I cannot match the machine ID with a location. I'm reduced to 'where on the network am I?' or some kind of GPS that if I could build I'd already be rich.
What they really want is the psychic mind-reading module that will write the note before they see the patient. I keep telling them it's coming.

Well it would be the same concept, however it wouldn't be trigger based but application based, so instead of running CPS first, they would have to run your application first to do the process to look at the network your on, update their home location then the application would open CPS. Then you have your location automated... That could work, but would have to use a custom application to do that.

I'll mull that over, but I'm pretty sure it's beyond my piddling skill level. Thanks for the thoughts, though. I appreciate it.

Well, I make custom applications all the time, if you are interested in it, and want a quote for me to build it for you, let me know. [email protected]

Just so you know, there is an open SPR (60220) affecting the location of care when chart documents are tied to appointment types. Not sure if your issue has to do with the staff members forgetting to change their LOC, or if they are logging in correctly and the LOC is getting set incorrectly within the chart document.
If the issue is the latter, the only current workaround is for the provider to manually select the LOC when documenting in the chart.
