Nursing is allowed the freedom to generate a consult to social services without a physician order. Some triggers are done automatically via OA messaging and this works fine. I support a facility that will not place a consult via OE due to the fact that an ordering physician must be tied to the consult. They feel that this is falsifying the record since the consult was not ordered by the physician. I do have a query on the CDS which asks if the consult is nurse driven or physician driven. Any ideas on the matter??? What are other facilities doing to effectively communicate with the social worker? TIA.
