Managing Physicians
Many patients have more than 1 physician involved with their care. To ensure coordination of care, you can include all physicians connected to the patient’s care.
Physicians information is added to the chart at the time of referral (within the referral screen) or by using the Medical Professionals option described below after the referral is complete. When you add a physician to a patient, you select from a list of existing physicians that is updated quarterly. If a physician you need to add isn't listed, it is not recommended to add the physician from this area of the application.
From Client Details of the patient chart, click Medical Professionals and click Add next to physicians.
To search for a physicians, do one of the following:
To search for Regional Physicians , click Select physician, click Regional Physicians, select physician name, and click Accept.
To search All Physicians, click Select Physician, click All Physicians, enter a few letters of the physician last name in the search field, select physician name, and click Accept.
Select the Primary Physician check box to designate the physician as Primary Physician. Only one physician can be listed at a time as the Primary Physician. Only the most recently selected physician can be designated as Primary Physician. When the Primary Physician is selected, it is indicated by a green check mark.
Physicians information can also be added to the chart at the time of referral, within the referral screen.
The database is updated quarterly with physician information, such as new or updated physician credentialing, NPI, and PECOS information.
