ITS requires a Site
• Site designations assist in reporting and
statistics.
• For instance, Rehab charges entered for Rose
Hill, Mt Airy and Urbana are automatically
segregated in all reports and statistics.

the same item can be charged a different
amount depending on the site where the
service was preformed.

departments, “MAIN” will
