- Completing Consult Orders from Patient Lists
Admitting services may elect to complete an admitting H&P note and use this to fulfill documentation requirements for consultation requests from emergency departments. In this case, a Consult note is not prepared and the usual method for closing the consult order is not available. If the consult order is not "completed", the patient remains in the admitting service's unfinished consults list.
A simple workflow can be used to complete the consultation order from within an inpatient list. This is done by using a "Physician Consults" report when a patient in a list is selected. The report has a link to "complete" the consult (simultaneously removing it from the list of unfinished consults).
