The Patient File / Medical / Family Physician/Additional Physician tab permits users to record other Physician/Doctors serving the patient. These records can be used for letter, forms, or report writing. You can query these records and send information to other doctors associated with the patient health. These records are not used for claim processing purposes ( see EMR Referring Physician for more details).
You can add external physicians via the Rolodex, the Patient Primary Care Physician screen and the Add a Physician button.
The Add a Physician Button opens the Physician List from which a user can select an already existing Doctor.
If a new Physician/Doctor needs to be added you can select the Add a Physicikan Button which permits user to add new Doctors to the Physician List.
Users can enter the demographic information for the new Physician. The Status field allows to show (active) or not show (Non-active) a Physician record. The Non-Active status can be used to remove a Physician record from the display list.
