The Allow Secondary Signers to Complete Dual Missing Dictation Deficiencies option allows secondary signers to complete Dual Dictation deficiencies without the primary signer's involvement.
-
If this option is selected, Dual Dictation deficiencies no longer have to be accepted by the primary signer. Dual Dictation deficiencies will be completed and removed from the primary signer's queue when they are accepted by a secondary signer.
-
If this option is not selected, Dual Dictation deficiencies must still be accepted by the primary signer, regardless of whether they have been accepted by a secondary signer.
This option can save primary signers time spent accepting Missing Dual Dictation deficiencies that have already been accepted by the secondary signer. Primary signers still maintain oversight and responsibility for the deficiencies in case a secondary signer cannot address a missing dictation.
This option does not apply to the External Transcription and deficiency processing HL7 import process. This import process functions the same regardless of whether Allow Single Deficiencies to Complete Dual Missing Dictation Deficiencies is selected. For more information about external transcription and deficiency processing, see the HL7 module reference guide.
