Tippies can be quickly adopted with immediate workflow benefits...
  • Get Notification for Selected Inpatient Test Orders
Results relating to orders placed within an inpatient encounter are, with few exceptions, managed within that encounter. There is no default routing to In Basket or other communication channels. The assumption is that results are routinely reviewed by the inpatient team.
 
Sometimes high-stakes results need clinician attention as soon as available. In such cases, inpatient prescribers can mark specific tests for In Basket notification.

Within an opened inpatient chart, go to the "Orders" activity and find the ordered investigation (e.g., imaging, laboratory test). Hover over the order of interest, looking to the far right of the row holding the order where a pick-list icon (q) will appear. Select this, then the "Notify Me" menu option:


The prescriber selecting the notify option will receive an In Basket message as soon as the requested result is available.
