The following In Basket commands are read-only when a selected Referral Triage message does not have an attached referral:
- Jump to Triage
- Accept
- Reject
- Additional Orders
When a referral is not attached to the referral message, the Orders Only button replaces Additional Orders and opens the same activity, but does not require an attached referral.
Review the blog post here.

The Auto-Advance feature has been reverted due to ongoing issues with the functionality:
- When selecting Done, the message will no longer automatically move to the Completed Work folder until the In Basket is refreshed.
Alternatively, users can manually set messages to automatically move to the next message by selecting the wrench and the Auto-Advance checkbox.
This applies to the Staff messages, Patient Calls, and the CC Charts folders ONLY.

An eConsult is an internal Provider-to-Provider consultation initiated by any provider who submits a specific question to a specialist for chart review and a recommendation.
eConsults streamline communication between clinicians, increase access to specialty care, and decrease the cost of care for the adult patient and the health system.
Expanded Rheumatology eConsults include Positive ANA, Gout Management, and Acute Lyme Rash
- Guidance consists of:
  - Next steps post positive ANA result with low suspicion of specific rheumatology disease.
  - Diagnostic and management advice for acute or chronic gout.
  - Recommendations regarding rashes that may be indicative of potentially acute Lyme disease (photo required).
- In addition, Neurology eConsults expanded to include Neuropathy and address post EMG/nerve conduction studies or skin biopsy treatment.

Johns Hopkins Medicine [JHM] is renegotiating a new contract with CareFirst.
If an agreement is not reached by December 5, 2022, JHM and JHU providers will be considered “out of network” for our patients, caregivers, faculty, and staff.
