CFCC

CFCC Updates (3/1/23)

• For CFCC specialty referrals AND non-CFCC specialty referrals, please put the referral in the system. 

  1. Our CFCC-specialty referrals will still be scheduled by the front desk PSR, BUT someone will also manage the work-queue to be sure to catch any that did not get scheduled.

  2. Can use “route to coordinator” button to be sure the patients are called for appointments.

• Med PAs: we are having trouble with these. Please include Dr. Harris, Celena Dublin, and Juan Hernandez  on the request.  Please be sure to send in a phone note labeled “prior authorization” (change the Rx Request to a phone note).

• During visits, please utilize the After Visit Summary: Click the box that says when to come back and use check out note for labs/specialty visits

• Involving LPNs for inbox management: please try to send 1-2 notes to the LPN on your team to ask them to follow up on a lab. They can only follow a script, so we recommend using the smart phrase ".labnurse" for guidance. Please ask your box buddy or me or another attending for guidance. 

• New Swabs Guide 

• We can do COVID testing and see patients with covid like symptoms—please order the test if you feel appropriate and let the LPN in your par know.  

• Referrals: please route requests for diagnostic mammograms (e.g. for after a birads 0 mammogram) to your referral coordinator though a phone note.  

• Shingles vaccine: Patients with Medicare (of any age, even if also have Medicaid) cannot get these done directly in clinic. If your patient has Medicare you need to send it to the pharmacy. 

• Hep B vaccine: it is now the two dose "heplisav B" vaccine. When you order this, make sure it is under "procedures" and not medications as the nurses can only use the "procedures" order. I can explain better in person (or ask your attending/box buddy).   

•  The LPN for your team will do employment or school forms. If a patient brings you a work form during a visit, please look at and order what may need ordering (e.g. quantiferon, titers, vaccines), and give to your LPN so they can follow the workflow. We appreciate your feedback on how this goes for you. Make sure all the forms you do need to do (still M11Q, CDPAP, FMLA,etc) are reviewed and signed by an attending.
