When viewing the physician table in New Table Maintenance the only options for viewing are All, Staff or No-Staff. Often Registration will add a provider name that's already setup if for some reason they can't find it to register a patient. When entering the tables from New Table Maintenance, the same provider then shows multiple times, even if there's an inactive date entered on the invalid entries. There needs to be an option for showing Active and Inactive so the list is more manageable.
In addition, there needs to be minimum requirements for an entry to include at least a full name and address. See screenshot for example.
Would also be nice to have a last utilized date to aid in cleaning up the table.
Need ability to also search by NPI.
I would also love a custom text section that way we are able to indicate why they have been made inactive.
I would like suggest that when entering the physician info - when the NPI # is entered and have the system detect that the NPI # is in use. EX. Have a popup box - "NPI already in use" - Then the user should recognize that the Physician is already in the table. This will prevent prevent duplications.
Oh my gosh, yes this needs attention please!!
I came specifically to the dream factory to add this idea. It would also be nice to see an inactive date column on the main search screen. We need a way to mass inactivate physician, so a multiselect and an inactive button would be amazing. Also love the idea of combining the tables.
It would be good if there was not a "new" button option in the registration area at all. We try to get the clerks to enter all 9s which defaults to our facility name with a new physician or one they can't find. When medical records runs the daily census and gets the information they will go in and enter the physician in the table and correct the account but the clerks sometimes forget to do this and the table is left in a mess.
It would also be nice if the physician table and referring physician tables were just one table that would capture everything rather than maintaining 2 different tables.
