Our Cardiology office just recently hired an oncologist. I created a new encounter for the oncologist to use and was wondering if there is a way to set the default specialty to oncology for just this encounter. Currently when he opens an office visit everything loads the cardiac version of the forms for example the patient instructions and hpi form. I don't want to change the default for everything as we are still primarily cardiac but the oncologist requested not to have to change the drop down on every form in the office visit. Does anyone know how to accomplish this. Thanks.

Is the Providers specialty set to Oncology? We use CPS and that is how the providers specialty is pulled into the forms.

Yes you can do this. We use CPS and under Admin you can create different specialties - Oncology. Then go to the user management and assign the specialty to a specific user. If you are using CCC forms you will need to find the Edit Specialty Definitions file and turn on that specialty. Make sure the name listed in the Specialty Definitions file matches the name in the specialty you created. **Side note, when you add a specialty, make sure someone on the PM side assigns codes to the specialty** If you have questions email me at [email protected]

Here's a piece a use for our practice:
{!if USER.HOMELOCATIONNAME = "Physicians East P.A. - Internal Medicine" then DOCUMENT.CUST_LIST = "LABS- IM"
else if USER.HOMELOCATIONNAME = "Physicians East P.A. - Beulaville" then DOCUMENT.CUST_LIST = "LABS- KINSTON"
else if USER.HOMELOCATIONNAME = "Physicians East P.A. - Cardiology" then DOCUMENT.CUST_LIST = "LABS- CARD"
endif endif endif}
So basically DOCUMENT.CUST_LIST is a dropdown that controls a visibility regions or dynamic labels. Obviously you would need to swap out the USER.HOMELOCATIONNAME to match what you have in setup (you can also use USER.CURLOCATIONNAME the same way).
