Ambulatory: Follow-Up With Me Order [Effective 3/25/21]
- This order replaces the Follow-Up section of the Wrap-Up activity.
- The "Follow-up with me" order allows users to specify instructions to the patient that will appear on the AVS, as well as send instructions to scheduling staff.
- The workflow provides the ability to customize frequently used orders, place multiple follow-ups at once, and the patient ability to self-schedule via MyChart [division dependent].
- The follow-up section in the Wrap-Up activity has been renamed “Chart Routing & Check-Out Note.” DO NOT USE THE FIELDS FOR PATIENT RETURN AND FOLLOW-UP INFORMATION:
- Doing so creates duplicative and possibly conflicting information on the patient's AVS.
- The bottom portion of Chart Routing & Check-Out note section remains available for setting reminders, and routing the chart to another clinician.
- In the Patient Instructions section, there is a new "Follow-Up PRN" option that will show up on the After Visit Summary (AVS).
Inpatient & Ambulatory: Webinar on “The 21st Century Cures Act” [Effective 3/25/21]
- Please join Dr. Howard Levy on Tuesday, March 16 2021, at 12 p.m., for an hour-long discussion about this new federal regulation taking effect on March 25, 2021.
- The new rule grants patients unrestricted access to electronic health information, including clinical notes and test results.
- The presentation will be recorded and focuses on test results, clinical notes, and proxies of teenagers.
- One CME/AMA PRA credit is available. Access the Zoom link and see further details.
- Key Points:
- When placing an order, the “Standard” button will be replaced with the defaulted “Immediate” button. Here are the current and future result release workflows.
- When selecting “Manual” it will be necessary to provide the rationale for not allowing release; the result can still be released manually after it is finalized, if desired.
