Hi Michele, We are having the same issue in regards to admissions creating additional visits and the documentation being placed on the wrong account. We met last week and involved all departments and discussed our issues. We concluded that we needed to review and make modifications to our current registration processes. Also, we are going to create a task force to review and implement these changes. For the interim, we are utilizing the copy routines within MEDITECH that migrate the data from one account to the correct account. However, it is rather time consuming.
We discussed creating a CDS that will stay with the patient's account; this CDS would include the affected departments and any other information we feel applicable. They would complete the CDS with their information and contact the next person for them to make their changes. Until we educate our staff, review our registration processes, these issues are going to occur. Since we are in an EMR/Hybrid world, it is very hard to create and implement a concrete solution. If you don't mind, please post any responses you receive from users on the MEDITECH L. We are very interested to see what other facilities are doing to either resolve this issue or create a work around. Thanks, Clay H.

Is there an easy way or method to accomplish this besides manually re-documenting on the active visit? All suggestions welcomed.
