Q&A
Question: Is there regulation on who can intiate the care plans with a patient? Does it have to be a RN?
Answer: Ultimately the provider has to sign/approve the care plan per guidelines. However, clinical staff/RN may add content but the care plan has ot be managed by a MD, DO, NP or PA.
Question: If you open the wrong template or duplicate template is there a good way to cancel or void that incorrect one?
Answer: If unsigned, the “Cancel” radio button can be selected when the Sign document button is activated. In the event that a signed document needs to be cancelled the cancel button will not be available for a signed document, however, your MPM clinical analyst does have the ability on the back end to go thru the RAD>Transcriptionist Desktop where they can unsign the document and then change the status to Cancelled.
