Change "physician" admit reason to "provider admit reason"
Many times we have midlevel providers admitting the patients as well as physicians. This is somewhat misleading to have the order say physician.

I would prefer this not change. I think that Physician admit reason is more in alignment with CMS physician certification rules. I know that different facilities and states have diffferent rules. While our midlevels can enter orders, they still have to call the attending/admitting physician to get permission to admit the patient and for what diagnoses.
