Management Setup Checklist

This checklist is designed to make the transition for new practices to Bp Premier as smooth as possible. The following management functions should be set up after you have conducted the activities in the New Install Checklist and before your practice goes live with Bp Premier in a Production environment, so that booking and billing workflows are ready to start.

See Set up the Clinical module for more information on setting up the clinical functions in Bp Premier.

If your practice prefers a printable guide, a comprehensive Bp Premier User Guide and Bp Premier Configuration Guide are available for purchase as PDF from here.
