About the Centriq Hospital Main Page

The Centriq Main Page is the screen that is displayed when you first log in to and is used to launch to all the functional areas of the application. The Main Page makes accessing your most frequent tools quick and easy.

For easy access, the current user's name and links to the Print, Logout, and Help functions are displayed at the top of the screen. See Commonalities for details on these functions.

Help: This link takes you directly to the Application Help. If you access this button from the Main page, the Introduction topic is displayed. If you access this link from other pages in the application, you will be directed to Help topics related to that page.
Logout: Use this link to log out when you're done with a session. Be sure to follow your facility's policy about logging out when you are not at your computer. This link is also used to change your password. From the Username/Password box, click the Change Password tab and complete the Current user Name, Current Password, New Password, and Confirm Password fields. Then, click Submit.

In addition, buttons, used to access the functional areas of the Hospital system, appear on the main area of the Main Page. Click the desired button to access that area of the application. See Iconography for details of the icons used in the Hospital application.

To change the view

The landing page allows alternate viewing options. Use the display menu button in the top right corner of the landing to page to switch between Large Icon View and Tile View.

The Large Icon View is a view that displays large icons displayed on the page in rows by grouping title, e.g., Patient Chart, Work Center, etc.
The Tile View is a condensed view that displays a smaller icon with the name of the module. They are displayed in columns under the grouping title, e.g., Patient Chart, Work Center, etc.

To save the current view as your default view when logging in, click the display menu button and select Save View as Default. You can select different default views for each application, Hospital, ED and Clinic, if desired.

To add items to the My Favorites list

The My Favorites list is displayed on the landing page and contains items that you mark as your favorites. To add a module as a favorite, click the icon to access the module, e.g. Patient Chart, Work Center. From the module page, click the star icon located next to the page name. When the star icon is filled in/solid, it will be displayed on the My Favorites list. To remove the item from the list, click the star icon again to return the star icon to not filled in/outlined only. When no favorites have been selected, the My Favorites list defaults to Notes, Lab Results, Orders Tracking, and eMAR. By default, all third party applications, Clin-eguide, ePrescribing, and Practice Portal are displayed in the My Favorites list if the user has security access to these functions. In addition, items selected for the My Favorites list (on the landing page), are displayed in the Quick Links menu (located on the module pages).
