Due to HIPPA, I would recommend that someone, possibly the triage nurse, hits a question, may we inform your PCP of this visit. If answered "Y" then the appropriate message gets sent.

But if you do want to do this, there are numerous ways to do it. Do you use EDM? PWM or POM whatever the current initials are (do the docs have the Desktop with Notifications). 1. OA MSG triggered by the answer to PCP, and when the PCP name is entered (we capture this on our EDM Triage Assesment), you can default a Y to the next question and it can send an OA MSG to his MOX MAIL or OUTLOOK Mailbox, or you could set this up as a notification (not an OA MSG). 2. Custom NPR report could be generated by query response and or as apart of the Registration process (one of the adm.form forms assigned in the ADM Customer Defined Parameters) and set up a default printer if his printer is on your network, if not fax to him on print on prompt (you would need to set up the fax recipients dictionary. I am sure there are other methods, it just depends on what modules your currently using and what method do you want to use to notify the PCP (email,fax, place facesheet in his mailbox?)

Our patient flow committee is asking that we set up a process where we can have the system (either through ADM or EDM) automatically send a notification to the patient's primary care physician when they are registered to the Emergency Room. I'm thinking this can be done via the OA message function but I'm not sure how to make it automatic without the registration clerks manually printing/faxing to the correct PCP. Has anybody already accomplished this? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks and happy new year! - Mike Michael T.
