The following
question is in reference to a Pathology Report that has already been
electronically Signed Out. What I am looking for is if any other Hospitals
handle this differently. Presently when a Path report has been completed
at BRMC and electronically signed out the Pathologist is not allowed to go back
into the report to make any changes. If there was a mistake made in the
reporting process instead of allowing him to go back into the Enter Corrcted
Findings are to make the correction a separate Addendum report has to be created
and attached with the corrections made on it. The reasoning for this was
that after the report was electronically signed out by the Pathologist it is
available for review in the EMR. If for any reason a physician would go
into this report in the EMR, Review it, and base care on the diagnosis that was
originally sent and then the report was changed and updated in the EMR without
him knowing it could be a huge issue. Are there other ways in which this
is being handled and if so I would certainly like to hear from
you.
Respectfully,
Bill
