For each document containing one or more deficiencies that require your attention, a notification arrives in your In Basket. If you have privileges to sign deficiencies for other physicians, you can access their deficiencies from your Epic Groups view.
If a note, redaction, burned markup, or deficiency is not in the location you expect, do not save or sign the document until the location has been corrected by your system administrator. When the document is saved or signed, the pending redaction, burned markup, or deficiency is permanently placed in the shifted location. The shifting of notes that do not permanently alter the document can be corrected any time by your system administrator.
To sign a deficiency:
-
Do one of the following:
-
For a Signature deficiency, click Sign. Your electronic signature replaces the deficiency on the document, and the deficiency is removed from the deficiencies table.
-
For a Missing Information deficiency, do the following:
-
Read the analyst-provided explanation in the Deficiency Text field.
-
Then, type the requested information in the Missing Information field. A maximum of 255 characters can be entered.
-
Finally, click Accept. The information you provided replaces the Missing Information deficiency on the document, and your signature is applied automatically. The deficiency is removed from the deficiencies table.
-
If multiple deficiencies are listed, you can complete these deficiencies without closing the Signing window.
-
-
When your deficiencies are completed, click the Return to Epic button from the lower-left corner of the Signing window.
