_____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Phyllis Morris Sent: Monday, November 06, 2006 2:21 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [MEDITECH-L] Dictation w/o Actual Hospital Visit Does anyone have a policy/procedure for admitting a patient into the Meditech system for the purpose of assigning an H number so that reports dictated by a provider that are not related to a specific hospital visit can be kept in PCI for future reference? This might be an H&P or other report that was dictated and transcribed for a patient whose surgery was cancelled or postponed for example. Or it might be a "patient alert report" that outlines a care plan for pain management or mental health issues dictated by a PCP following an office visit that is not related to a specific hospital visit. I am not suggesting this is good practice, I have just been asked to find out if other hospitals have a policy or procedure for doing this and what the pros/cons would be. Any input would be appreciated.... Phyllis Morris, RN IS Clinical Coordinator Mid Columbia Medical Center 541-296-7364 (voice mail) 541-296-7767 (fax) [EMAIL PROTECTED]
