Deficiencies can be applied to encounter-level documents displayed in the Analysis window. Deficiencies cannot be applied to patient-level documents, which are shared across multiple encounters.
If a document needs to be rotated, rotate it and save the rotation before creating a deficiency. If a document is rotated after a deficiency is created, then the deficiency's orientation on the document changes.
To create a deficiency on the document displayed in the Analysis window:
-
Select a Deficiency Type from the drop-down:
Deficiency Type
Description
Signature
Place this Deficiency Type on documents that require a physician's signature.
Missing Info
Place this Deficiency Type on documents that are missing required information. Physicians complete these deficiencies by typing out the required information. Once completed, the Missing Information deficiency is replaced with both the text the physician provided and the physician's signature.
-
When you are finished creating deficiencies, click the Return to Epic button from the lower-left corner of the Analysis window.
Note:
The maximum number of deficiencies that can be placed on a document is 50.
