The Clinician Type field in the User Settings page is relevant when sending an eReferral, as it will appear in the "Referrer's Information" field at the bottom of the referral form.
A user's Clinician Type also has an impact on their ability to be designated as a Primary Delegate for another Ocean user. Being a Primary Delegate allows a user to share the Patient Messaging and Reminders License of a licensed Ocean user.
The user who is being assigned as the Primary Delegate must have one of the following Clinician Types to be successfully set as a Primary Delegate: MOA/Secretary, Nurse, Resident, Physician Assistant or Other.
