Clinic Pods are a great feature for larger clinics with a sizable physician base and supporting staff. It can greatly improve organization and efficiency for clinic staff.

Clinic Pods allow you to create separated groups within your clinic. If an employee selects a clinic pod from the top menu bar or within the scheduler screen, AVA EMR will limit schedulers, appointment menus and task menus to that specific pod. Selecting a clinic pod allows an employee to focus on a specific subgroup of users in the clinic. This does not affect the employees ability to access anything in the EMR.

Clinic Pods are different from the Clinic Groups feature, as Clinic Groups are for multiple clinics.
