ℹ️ Information: Adding a user to an MTU allows the individual to communicate with that specific MTU. Additional permissions can be assigned to allow prescribing under the associated provider's name.
📋 Overview
A Medical Team Unit (MTU) allows designated users to collaborate with an assigned provider. Users can be added to an existing MTU and granted prescribing permissions when applicable.
This guide outlines how to access the provider's MTU, add users, manage prescribing permissions, and remove users when necessary.
