If a physician is associated with a primary specialty, analysts can look up the physician by primary specialty when assigning deficiencies. The ability to look up physicians by specialty is especially helpful if multiple physicians have the same name.
You can associate a physician with a primary specialty in Physician Information Configuration. For a specialty to be available, you must first configure it using Provider Specialty Configuration.
To configure a specialty, complete the following steps:
-
Select Medical | Physicians | Provider Specialty. The Provider Specialty Configuration dialog box is displayed.
-
Enter the name of the specialty and click Create. The Provider Specialty Settings dialog box is displayed.
