Since the PCP comes from the physician dictionary, there are many times when we do not have their PCP built in the dictionary. While the Family Provider field does look into the physician dictionary, it is also (at least for us) a free form field where they can enter the physician's information if not in the dictionary. It took some education, but we were able to train staff to ONLY use that field for physicians not in the dictionary, and that we should never see both PCP and Family completed. ********************************************** Jeri Belcher Financial Planning Analyst II Sierra View District Hospital 559-791-3916 "Blitz, Elizabeth" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To Sent by: <meditech-l@MTUsers.com> meditech-l-bounce cc [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject [MEDITECH-L] Family Provider 08/03/2007 13:25 Hi all, We are a CS 5.5 SR2 site and we are experiencing some issues with the use of our Provider fields from our end users. We are wondering if any health care organizations are capturing the FAMILY PROVIDERS and if so, what exactly this is being used for. Typically the PCP is the Family provider (I believe). We are contemplating asking our users to stop utilizing this field, but want to make sure that we are not forgetting an obvious use of this field (or not that obvious) Thanks! Have a great weekend.
