What are suborganisations and when should I use them?

Suborganisation

A suborganisation is a fully autonomous organisation with its own administrators, healthcare providers, patients, and groups. However, the suborganisation always falls under a main organisation.

If your organisation is working with more departments and patients in Luscii, it can be useful to divide them into suborganisations. Using suborganisations keeps patients separated between different departments, prevents programmes and protocols from getting mixed up, and allows more specific authorisations to be granted to healthcare providers regarding which patients they can treat or which protocols they can use. At the same time, an administrator of the main organisation can still manage the healthcare providers and groups of the suborganisations, providing control and an overall overview.

Examples

Example A: You are a hospital and, after the cardiology department, the pulmonology department also starts using Luscii. It is then wise to create two suborganisations under the hospital: one for Cardiology and one for Pulmonology. This ensures a clear separation between the protocols, programmes, healthcare providers, groups, and patients of these two departments.

Example B: You are an organisation with 20 clinics spread across the country. You want to keep patients separated between clinics but allow all clinics to work with the same protocol. You create a separate suborganisation for each location, with its own healthcare providers and patients. The protocols are managed in the main organisation, and each suborganisation is assigned protocols from the main organisation. Read more about suborganisations in our other articles.
