BestNotes permission

When using OutcomeTools in conjunction with BestNotes, you will need to give the user the "OutcomeTools" user permission in the Clinical section of the User Permissions. There are two permissions associated with OutcomeTools. 

The first permission is "OutcomeTools" and provides the user the OutcomeTools tab in the client's chart.

The second permission is "OutcomeTools Administrator" and will give the user the OutcomeTools icon in the upper right hand corner of BestNotes.
