The Attending and ER physicians may be edited directly from the Patient's Physicians screen.

The Primary and Secondary physicians must be edited from the Census screen.

Only one Attending may be assigned per account. If the correct Attending is not listed in the drop-down menu, remove the existing Attending physician before adding the new Attending physician.

 

Consulting physicians entered from Point of Care Demographics or Clinical Information will automatically pull to the Patient's Physician list. These consulting physicians cannot be edited or removed from this screen.

 

If a Hospitalist already exists on the Patient's Physicians list and another Hospitalist is added, the system will rename the existing Hospitalist as the Hospitalist of Record and label the newly added physician as the Hospitalist. Multiple Hospitalist of Record may be listed on the Patient's Physicians list; however, only one physician will be designated as the Hospitalist.
