MEMO to All Interior Health Physicians
From: Dr. Sarah Broder, FEI Project Lead, Penticton Regional Hospital
Date: December 12, 2019
As of January 27, 2020, if you are solely listed as an “Admitting Provider” in Meditech, you will no longer get any more patient results and reports dumped into your EMR. Distribution of patient reports will only continue for providers who are listed as MRP (Attending), Family (GP), Other (mostly consulting specialists), and of course, the Ordering Provider.
For example, if you consult on a patient in the Emergency Department and facilitate the admission of the patient but will not follow the patient in hospital (such as handing off the care of the patient to another provider), as of January 27, 2020 you will only receive ongoing patient information if you are listed as Attending Physician, Family Physician, Other, or Ordering Provider. To check your provider status with a patient, click “review visit” in Meditech.
