Please help, which report is highest level of priority? see message - ms


Posted: Mar 11, 2010

This is a question from a company and just wondering ER report, consult, op report, or preop H&P?

need more info - depending on situation

[ In Reply To ..]
any of those could be a stat or a high priority. The patient could be awaiting surgery (preop H&P) and need the chart immediately, or the patient could be awaiting transfer from the ER, etc.

In acute care where I work, the order is -- - SM

Preop H&P/STAT; H&P; Consult; Op report;
Discharge summary. Our ERs are handled separately by MTs who type them first as THEIR priority.
