I am looking for ideas on what part of the EMR you use to “result” patients when you order tests, CTs, MRIs, etc. We typically get the reports faxed to us and they are attached to the patient docs as a PDF or TIFF file. Doctor needs to review and the nurse needs to call patient with results. If the doctor wants to document notes and attach those, how can you do that as well?
How do your offices do this process? Possible ideas below that I can think of.
Create an action?
Create a telephone encounter?
Is there a tool within the progress notes?
Change the assigned user to the nurse after the doctor reviews? Check the Reviewed Doc & Lab only box?
