Option to default "Assigned to" in plan order based on location logged into
Description of Request:The client would like a user preference that would allow them to set specific user/group to "Assigned to" in plan orders based on the specific location the provider is logged into. For example: provider logs into one of several locations (Virginia City). the provider would have an option in user preferences that he can set for plan orders for Virginia City to use for example: Virginia City nurses to do procedure, lab or referral orders. This would prevent the doctors from forgetting to set their assigned tos and them going to the wrong group of users.
Requested Steps to define spec: Need option to set defaults to the Assigned To in an encounter plan item so that the correct user or group is automatically assigned based on the location the provider is logged into. this would be a user preference which could map the location to the user/group the provider chooses. In the case of large clinics with many locations, they would need to assign possibly several locations, depending on how many locations they have. This might be better controlled by the emr manager instead of user preferences.
Expected Result: by setting these options in user preferences, the doctors would no longer be sending orders to the wrong groups to be completed.
Actual Result:
Impact on Workflow: This client indicates that because some of the providers work in several different locations, they often set the first plan order correctly while in the plan step of encounter, but forget to set the remaining orders, which often end up going to the wrong users and then must be reordered.
