The SAFER patient identification best practices recommend that when someone tries to create a new visit or document on a deceased patient's record they are presented a warning that this patient is deceased, do you want to continue? This is a very good idea and we would like to recommend CPSI consider adding this type of warning.
and when date of death is entered all upcoming apts need to be canceled so we don't upset the patients family
This happened recently in our ED with Father and Son charts. Both have the exact same name, but the father has been deceased for 12 years. Please prioritize this. (And ... we believe the Deceased Patient AGE should not progress in the chart. The age should reflect the age at the Date of Death. We suggest changing the DOB with DOD on the header data ribbon.)
