Considerations

The 'Doctor' Field on the Site Information screen Determines the Doctor Who Will Appear on Dosing Labels

Many facilities print Dosing labels that include the name of the facility's doctor. In order to change the name of the doctor appearing on printed labels, users must change the 'Doctor' field text on the Site Information screen for the 'Home Site'.
