Title: Outpatients that come in with two or more scripts
We are a Meditech 4.9 Magic hospital and are seeing more and more outpatients coming in for lab and radiology services that have two, and sometime three, scripts from different physicians. The scripts can be for the same laboratory test, different ones, or a combination. Our Registration department is unclear on how to handle these patients. Do you register them separately for each script, or do you register them once for all of them? If you register them once, how do make sure that the ordering physician only receives the lab results or radiology report that he or she ordered? If the patient is registered for each script, the patient must spend a longer time in Registration, must sign the same forms multiple times, and the billing department has to do a lot of work on their end to combine the accounts for billing purposes. We believe that other hospital must be facing the same problem and we would be interested in hearing about how you are handling this situation.
