Here's our problem... maybe the listers can help :)

Our patients are assigned MRP/Attending based on the "Daily On Call
Physician Schedule" generated by a physician scheduling system.

The problem is that sometimes the MRP changes but this isn't reflected
in Admissions... their solution is they would like to edit the admission
record themselves... which we don't think is a good idea.
Currently they are using a patient report out of Admissions where they
are the Attending for billing in their offices - this obviously isn't
accurate at our site. 

I am looking for other ways in Meditech where they can either:
1. Assign patients to themselves and that can be their billing/rounding
list. I thought maybe the PCI Self Assign might help. Our providers have
unrestricted access to patients, regardless of provider group.
2. *** Any ideas about how other sites handle this challenge ***

Thanks in advance!

Subject: Re: [MEDITECH-L] PCI Self Assign

Disadvantage:  In order for a physician to use Self-Assign... he must
have an unrestricted access (page 3 of the MIS User Dictionary).  This
means he can not be restricted by user or group.  Since this can not be
defined, if he uses the ID Method of "by Provider Group patients in a
bed" or "provider patients".... it does not default to their group or
their own user.  So now he must define this every time!  (A MAJOR pain
for them!)

Meditech has a custom that will look into the provider dictionary and
by default highlight the provider's group once in the look-up.  This
helps a lot... but when we got this custom, we failed to ask for the
same functionality in the "by Provider Patients in a bed".  (Can't win
for losing!)

Good luck,

Is anyone using "Self Assign" functionality  in PCI? We are MAGIC 5.5
SR1.

Advantages? Disadvantages?
