Tippy - Adding or Updating Referring and Primary Care Providers in Clinic Schedule Lists

Tippies can be quickly adopted with immediate workflow benefits...

• Updating a Patient's Referring and Primary Care Providers in Outpatient Lists

Connect Care uses information about a patient's referring and primary care provider (PCP) to facilitate a number of workflows. 

Ensuring that both the referring provider and PCP are correctly identified prior to starting an outpatient encounter is essential to some communications and billing actions. While this information should be entered when visits are scheduled, prescribers should confirm its presence before initiating an actual visit. 

An appointment list column makes this easy to do. 

Note the column with "Ref/PCP Info" in its header. Missing information will be apparent within the column as a blank space. Users can double-click within that blank space to open an editing tool that facilitates rapid entry or revision of the correct referring or PCP provider name.

• (Re)printing Laboratory Requisitions

Until Connect Care fully deploys, clinicians ordering outpatient labs may struggle with hybrid workflows involving printing paper requisitions. There may be many test requests to print and patients may need reprints.

Multiple laboratory tests will automatically collate to a 4-test-per-page requisition for all tests ordered in a single outpatient encounter. If a reprint is needed, select one of the relevant labs from Chart Review >> Labs, then use the "Reprint Order Requisition" link that appears as part of the test information display:

Be sure to select the correct printer if following this tip on a personal device (not already mapped to a specific Connect Care printer).
