Supervising Prescriber Selection for Trainees - Optimizing Workflows

We previously posted about a Connect Care change needed to ensure that orders, results and documentation are appropriately linked to responsible physicians when trainees participate in healthcare.

The tweaked logon workflow brings Connect Care in line with expected practice, while ensuring that the right physicians get the right information when test results report late or documentation requires co-signature. Explicit supervisor declaration is mandated by medical staff bylaws, professional regulation and residency training program requirements.

Some trainees have struggled with this change, especially when working in high-volume clinics where they have more than one supervising prescriber. Tips and demos can help:

• Tip: Selecting Supervising Prescribers
• FAQ: When should the Supervising Prescriber be changed for Inpatients?
• Demo: Selecting Supervising Prescribers
• Tip: Switching a Supervising Prescriber
• FAQ: How can I Switch Supervising Prescribers?
• Demo: Switching Supervising Prescribers
• FAQ: How can I Change Supervising Prescribers Quickly?
• Manual: Prescriber Roles

Note: selection of a Supervising Provider ceased to be part of trainee logons as of December 8, 2020. Please see the Manual for information about how this workflow is largely automated. The rest of this posting still applies.
