The Attending and ER physicians may be edited from the Patient's Physicians screen; however, the Primary and Secondary physicians must be edited from the Census screen.Only one Attending may be chosen per account. If the correct Attending is not listed as an option in the drop-down menu, remove the existing attending physician prior to adding the new attending physician.

The Consulting physicians entered from Point of Care demographic or Clinical Information will also automatically pull to the Patient's Physician list. These physicians may not be edited or removed from this screen.

If a Hospitalist exists on the Patient's Physicians and another Hospitalist is added, the system will rename the existing Hospitalist as the Hospitalist of Record and label the new physician as the Hospitalist.
