Add New User

1. In the User Management sub-tab, press the “Add New User” button. The Add / Edit / View User Details screen appears. (View screenshot)

2. Answer the question “Is the User a Provider?”
3. If the “Yes” radio button is selected, a drop-down list appears. Select the provider to whom a user profile is being assigned.
4. If not, enter the first and last name of the new user.
5. Enter a User Name.
• A User Name must contain at least six characters and must be unique within the HCAI system.
• A User Name should only be used by the person it is assigned to.
6. Enter the employee ID.
• If your facility does not use employee IDs, enter characters in this field to help identify the user, such as their initials.
7. Enter the user's email address. The email address is important so that the user may reset their password if necessary and receive their verification code when logging in
8. You can also enter a phone number for the user, if available.
9. Select the level of access to assign to the user. The user’s level of access depends on what you would like them to be able to do within HCAI.
10. If you select the Provider-level access, consider which patient information the user should be permitted to view.
• Complete the “Grant Access Rights to the User” section to allow the new user to view, update and submit forms for specific Providers.
• Select the name of the Provider or Providers whose patients the user should have access to, and click the arrow button.
11. If the new user is also the new Authorizing Officer for the Facility, you must assign the Facility Administrator and the Facility User Administrator roles.
12. Click”Submit” to ensure the desired role and level of access have been applied, and – if the changes are correct – click “Submit” again.
13. HCAI will display the User Name and send the administrator and the new user a link to create their password.
14. Click “Done” to close the window.

Please note: if the new user is also the new Authorizing Officer for the facility, you must also update the Authorizing Officer section of the Facility Management tab.

There are two different levels of access in HCAI – Facility and Provider.
Within the Facility level of access, there are five roles available depending on how much access the user requires.

• Administrator roles allow users to update Facility or user details, whereas report viewer, plan/invoice support and plan/invoice submission roles allow users to generate reports or work with plans and invoices only.
• Within the Provider level of access, users can have a submitter or support role.
• Plan/Invoice Submitters can create, modify and submit OCFs, whereas Support users can only create and/or modify OCFs that have not yet been submitted.

To learn more about the different levels of access and roles for health care users in HCAI, review Chapter 5: Managing Your Users in the Web User Manual.

Please note: if you are updating the roles and/or level of access for your facility's Authorizing Officer, designate the Facility level of access with the Facility User Administrator and Facility Administrator roles assigned.

4. Click “Submit” to review the changes and - if they are correct - click “Submit” again.
• The email address field is now mandatory for all user accounts. If the user account did not have an email address associated to it, you will be required to enter an email address before you are able to save any changes you have made. If no email address is entered, an error message will appear at the top of the screen and the changes will not be saved until an email address is entered and “Submit” is pressed again.
