Inpatient & Ambulatory: MyChart => Displays “My Teams” Dashboard Components
- Patient Care Team (ambulatory) and Treatment Team (inpatient) members display to patients in MyChart, in anticipation of the 21st Century Cures Act; therefore, please ensure the names on these teams are accurate.
- The components, My Current Care Team and My Current Treatment Team, are available to add to any dashboard.
- Click on one of the ‘blue roles’ in either component to display a report that lists all patients for whom you have that role. Also, add to or remove yourself from each patient.
- Find more information here: My Care Team Dashboard Component
- Location-Specific Provider Teams:
All provider team names are preceded by the prefix of their associated hospital to prevent accidentally adding a team for one hospital to a patient located at another hospital [ACH, BMC, JHH, SH, and SMH].
Inpatient: Request Platelet Service Using Epic
- Clinicians can no longer use CORUS to access the Platelet Service .
- Instead, enter the Referral to Platelet Service order in Epic.
- Use the “JHH – Platelet Coordinators: All” Secure Chat group to contact the on-call Platelet Coordinator directly.
- Find more information on Secure Chat here.
