Consults Can Be Tracked Through Order Tracking

Our trainer, Nick Irwin, was kind enough to set up dummy CPT codes for subspecialist referrals. This allows you to track them through the Order Tracking function to check and see if a patient has actually gone, or link it when you get a referral letter back from the specialist.
To do this, in your PLAN section, find "Orders", then ">Add New", then to the right of that click on "Favorites".
A new window will pop up. DON'T CHOOSE "CONSULTS" from across the top-- instead, look down the categories in the column on the LEFT and choose the last box, which says "Consults" in white letters. Then just check the box of the consult you want to order, and it can be tracked. There are a few we didn't think of (Ped. Surgery and Lactation are the ones I noticed) that we will add in. If you have others, please e-mail me lash.kevin@gmail.com and we'll put them in.

We've added codes for psychology consult and Valley mental health consults. If you have others that need to be added, reply here with a comment and we'll get them added to the system.
