Hello Lr's, On our Consultation order, Nursing wants the physician's service/specialty to default as well. I created a pointer type query but it defaults the mnemonic only and not the description. It is not really helping the users that much because some of the mnemonic is not really clear (ie. OGY for Obstetrics-Gynecology). I don't really want to be changing the dictionary. See MEDITECH's response below. The other option I have in mind is to add a default attribute that will spell out each physician with their matching specialty. I am not too keen on this option as this is a lot of work and has to be updated if new docs come aboard. Any input? Thanks!
Ferguson,Glee (MEDITECH) - Mar 18, 2007 - 1459 EDT: In the MIS Doctor Dictionary the mnemonic is stored not the name. you can do a lookup and see both when entering but what is stored there is only the mnemonic. I think this may explain why this is working this way. I will set it up in house though for testing. Ferguson,Glee (MEDITECH) - Mar 18, 2007 - 1519 EDT: This is working the same in house. When setting up the pointer type query the display field is mnemonic. Name is not an option. This is the reason why only the mnemonic will appear. Christine, please let us know if you have any additional questions. Thank you Cristina C. Kimball, BSN, RN Manager, Clinical Informatics Pacific Alliance Medical Center 531 W.
