Default Trading Partner

TP stands for Trading Partner, which is the agency where electronic messages are sent and received for Registration and Partners Links, for example, PCT/HB/CSA.

The Default TP option allows you to choose which TP populates on the Registration form by default, saving you having to select it each time you register a patient. You can pick from a list of TP's that have been configured for your practice. If you do not choose a default, the TP box on the registration form remains empty and you have to select a TP each time you register a patient. If you are registering a family, the default TP remains the same as the previous family member:

Choose the Trading Partner from the available list, select Update and then OK to save the changes.

Select Exit to close the form.
