PREVIOUS NOTES

I believe Matt handled this by sending the consult to someone assigned the job of sending the referral to the consultant selected. This might be by fax, etc. I believe consult services are set up and referral documents set up using a template that has some prepopulated objects in it - demographics, etc., and the person responsible for seeing that they get sent out is sent an alert. The the "consult service" is actually a group/person set up to process the consult. Various requirements can be set up for each sort of "consult service," like certain lab results of pulmonary funcion test results, EKGs, etc. Much of this can be set up under the Consult Management CMRC MGR option using Setup a consult service (SS).

Consult responses are set up as special TIU notes for scanned responses and the provider receiving the consult has a special note title to process it and is responsible for setting the consult status to completed.

Detailed documentation for how this is done with other variations needs to be entered here.
