Use the Patient Location Manager to define mappings between study descriptions or procedure codes and locations where a study was performed. Once patient location mappings are defined, it becomes possible to route, prefetch, or search for studies based on these locations.

To handle cases where study descriptions could match more than one source pattern, in the Rule Number field, type a value to prioritize this source pattern.
From the Mapped Location list, select the text identifier to be assigned to studies whose descriptions match the source pattern.
If necessary, add a location value to the list.
To apply this mapping to all subsequent studies, click Save.
