Julie, we just use the generic "Other" to allow Admitting to complete the registration. Then, I created a scheduled NPR report that then listed all of the "OTHER" entries each day, with patient & admitting clerk info. Ultimately, we found it wasn't a big enough deal (we're a small facility) for us to run that every day and have someone find and adjust those entries; we were getting most resolved anyway. However, if you'd like that little report, let me know. Thanks! Gary Hall Clinical Applications Specialist Estes Park Medical Center Information Systems Department 970-577-4443

For the longest time we have used a generic "OTHER" as the ordering physician (in order to get the patient registered and taken care of quickly), with research and Provider dictionary entries made by our Medical Staff Office after the fact, and sometimes rather 'haphazardly' at that. Because of the late entries, RAD reports often do not get sent to the ordering provider (but get 'sent' somehow to Dr Other), and with the new requirement for NPI numbers and claims potentially rejecting for no NPI, among other things, we know we need to find a solution to this situation. Is this situation experienced by any of you? If so, how does your process work? I'd welcome any suggestions, comments, or ideas.....by the way, we are Magic 5.5 SR3.
