Definition

A department in MANSOQ is a group inside a facility, such as a ward, a clinical team, or an administrative unit. A department can hold sub-departments, so the departments of a facility form a hierarchy. MANSOQ models a department on the FHIR Organization resource.

Note: MANSOQ creates one root department named Administration for every new facility. You cannot create, edit, or delete this root department from the settings screens. You also cannot create a department under it. The person who creates the facility becomes the Facility Admin of the root department.

Note: Your deployment sets the maximum nesting depth and the maximum number of departments for each facility.
