Physician queries are displayed in DeficiencyPop as Missing/Incomplete Form deficiencies.
Like other deficiencies, physician queries are part of the burn process. Once completed, physician query forms are burned by the -MRMSANALYSIS server.
While similar to other deficiencies, physician queries differ in several ways:
-
Physician queries are created by coders. Physician queries cannot be created by analysts or reanalysts.
-
Physician queries do not cause a chart to enter Reanalysis because they do not require confirmation. Physician queries are verified automatically when physicians reply to them.
-
Physician queries are not listed in the Deficiencies list when a chart is in Analysis or Reanalysis. They are displayed in the Deficiencies list only in the Coding queue and the Completion queues.
