You must create and configure OnBase Document Types in order to classify and organize the documents that you will be archiving in OnBase.
The number of Document Types that you create and configure is dependent on your healthcare organization's business processes. As a general rule, OnBase Document Types and Meditech forms have a 1:1 relationship (each OnBase Document Type corresponds to one Meditech form); however, your business processes may require that OnBase Document Types have a one-to-many relationship. For example: each department within a hospital uses a unique consent form but all consent forms, regardless of department, are archived in the same OnBase Document Type.
