The Allow Single Deficiencies to be Assigned to Secondary Signers option allows non-dual deficiencies to be created and assigned to secondary signers in the Medical Records Unity Client or through automatic deficiency creation. This option allows secondary signers to be solely responsible for non-dual deficiencies or physician queries, with the potential of becoming delinquent. Secondary signers cannot be assigned as the primary signer on dual deficiencies.
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 be Assigned to Secondary Signers is selected. For more information about external transcription and deficiency processing, see the HL7 module reference guide.
