Background

When a locum is replacing a specific provider, the best solution to manage tasks, unsigned transactions, and requisitions is by using the "Work for" functionality.

NOTE: The “Covers for” functionality only adjusts the schedule so the locum’s name is on appointments

The "Work for" functionality allows for:

  • Locum and MRP to have a merged Tasks list
    • The locum can see both theirs and the MRP's tasks, therefore "MRP to review" button can continue to be used
    • When the locum completes a task, it will show that the locum completed it
  • Locum and MRP to have a merged Unsigned Transactions list
    • The locum can see both theirs and the MRP's unsigned transactions
    • When the locum signs a transaction, it will show that the locum signed it
  • Locum's generated requisitions (lab and rad) are ordered under MRP
    • Results will come back to MRP appropriately
    • Avoids results getting "lost" and locums are not required to change their results distribution with Excelleris, LifeLabs, LM Labs, or Transcription Services
