In the new Patient Chart experience by DrChrono, users are able to customize how the patient header appears, as well as the list of their navigation items.

In addition to users customizing on an individual basis, Administrators are able to customize for their entire practice. Let's exit edit mode and see that.

In the main navigation, find the Practice Settings section and click on "Patient Chart Settings".

Let's customize the patient header.
6
Expand the "System Default" item to see how the patient header will appear by default.
7
"Edit" the Practice Default to choose how the Patient Header will appear for all users in your practice.
8
The left column shows you all the possible patient information data that you can choose to include in the patient header.

Customizing the side navigation is done in a very similar fashion to how we just customized the patient header.

Here is a preview of the order that all users will default to prior to a practice default being customized.

Let's edit the default for our practice.

Currently, all possible navigation items are set to be shown for all users in the practice.
