What Are Organizations In Doctivity?
In Doctivity, organizations are billing organizations or facilities in your client workspace.
They are not individual clinicians. Instead, they represent entities like practices, hospitals, health systems, or other billing organizations that providers and locations can be connected to.
At a high level, an organization record can include:
- organization name
- type or facility type
- NPI
- city and state
- phone and email
- specialty
- affiliated/non-affiliated status
- associated labels
- associated locations
Organizations are used in a few main ways in Doctivity:
- Directory and reference
- You can view them in All Organizations at
/organizations/ - There are also Favorite, Recent, and Affiliated organization lists
- Relationship to locations and providers
- An organization can have multiple associated locations
- Providers may be connected to an organization
- Contacts and locations often roll up to organizations
- Market and claims analysis
- Organizations can have a Market Data tab showing things like payor mix, patients by service line, and associated providers
- They can also have Patient Migration and Captured Codes views, depending on the data available
- Labeling and segmentation
- Organizations can be grouped with labels so your team can analyze or manage them as a set
A simple way to think about it:
- Provider = individual clinician with an NPI
- Organization = billing/facility entity that providers and locations may belong to
- Location = physical address tied to an organization
- Contact = person without an NPI
