There are several ways to do it. In the practice I was in before, the MAs just logged in under the doctor's accounts and triaged the patient in the room then sent the chart to the inbox. Now, my MA has her own triage area with her own computer, printer and AC login account like the rest of the staff. This, of course, works much better for messaging. It also has the added benefit of allowing her to have one triage area with one set of BP cuffs, forms, stadiometer, scales, etc.
AC is licensed per provider. You can have as many computers and staff as you wish.
