Hello~ We are having a discussion concerning the use of the RFV line in CWS. Many times, when an appointment in Radiology is scheduled, a reason for visit is given and entered by the scheduler in Radiology. However, when the patient brings in the order from the doctor, either the reason for visit does match, or there are more reasons than originally given and Admissions does not always notice that the reasons differ. This causes a problem if we have to pull an order and the RFV do not match. What I would like to know is, where else are you putting Reason for Visit info scheduling? Schedulers Notes? I suggested this as an alternative, we have an NPR that prints in the morning that contains up to 3 lines of Scheduler Notes, thus the RFV could be viewed by the Radiology dept. (Also, we NEVER use the RFV line for IP/OBS; for those patients, that line is used for transfer info which gets wiped out if someone inadvertently puts a RFV in.) I appreciate any help you can provide!
