Thank you to Drs. Hepps, Whiteway, Friedman, Urbina, Schulz, Groomes, Drumm, and Ahmed, for volunteering!
DEI Religion in Medicine Panel
We will be having our second annual DEI Committee Religion in Medicine Panel during morning report on May 23. We hope to have several religious leaders present for the discussion. To ensure this remains a valuable session for residents and faculty, we are collecting questions and topics of interest prior to the panel. Please email your questions and ideas to Emily Ferraro (emily.ferraro@nccpeds.com) NLT 03 MAY 2023. Thank you!
MHS Genesis Updates:
Important Announcements:
MHS Genesis Provider Handbook
Important items to keep in mind:
In order for an encounter to be closed out completely, the provider must both complete the charges (coding) and sign the note. When viewing your appointments in List mode, this will result in a completely Gray bar next to the encounter. If there is a white section over the Gray bar, then something is still missing and needs to be completed for the encounter to be finalized. See the attached PDF highlighting what this should look like.
If a provider does not complete their note and sign it on the same day as the appointment, then during the final step of signing that note, they should change the date stamp to the date of the appointment (and not the default date of the signature). Otherwise the tracking mechanism we have will still show that encounter as being open, even though the provider signed the note. (This is for billing purposes only, as I’m told that when the note is printed or viewed later, the actual date stamp on the signature will still reflect the date that it was actually signed.)
Radiology Orders:
Order radiology exams under a clinical encounter (DO NOT order radiology exams under the “LIFETIME” or “HISTORY” encounters
For routine exams, tell the patient not to contact radiology for 48 hours after entering an order. This allows for normal protocoling and/or modifications to occur and radiology MSA staff to proactively schedule.
For inpatient teams, enter the radiology order PRIOR to calling for an add-on request. This will allow our residents to protocol or modify the study immediately while also collecting necessary information for our radiology-specific iPASS system.
Until August, if an ordering provider places an incorrect order, the radiologist will change the order for the ordering provider that will require a co-signature in order to educate the ordering provider. After August, if an incorrect order is placed, the radiologist will cancel the order with a notification to the ordering provider.
Lab Orders:
All labs must be FUTURE orders for lab to see them. If you order labs just as routine but not future, they route to “inpatient flow” and say order dispatched and lab CANNOT see them to draw. Lab cannot fix the order. So if you see “order dispatched” when you place a GENESIS lab order, you know it was ordered incorrectly and lab cannot draw it.
If you want SAME DAY labs when you hit FUTURE order, you MAY need to do an extra step. Future orders automatically date for next day – see Slide 10 on attached for exactly how to fix the “grace period” and date so that the lab can see and draw same day labs. I say you may have to fix them b/c I have had lab draw some day labs that I have not done the steps in slide 10, so I have asked lab for clarification.

Resident-Specific Updates
PEDIATRICS Pediatric Trainee Feature Essay Contest
A call for trainee essays on ACEs. Here is an excerpt from the PDF (attached below):
We encourage trainees to reflect on one or more of the following questions when crafting their essays:
How can we, as pediatric trainees foster resilience among our patients experiencing ACEs?
How have ACEs you personally experienced shaped your career path and identity as a physician?
How can pediatricians recognize and mitigate these issues during patient encounters, in training programs, and at the policy level?
The essay deadline is April 14th.
