Are their any practices that allow physicians the capability to edit their own Custom Medication and Problem Lists ( basically giving them the privilege Go>SetUp>Settings> Change chart settings) ? I welcome ANY feedback, positive or negative to take to upper management.

Apparently, the privilege was given to a few providers way before my time and now more physicians are wanting the privilege. Because we have a few "Curious Georges", I worry of the risk of something being touched that shouldn't. If their are any practices who allow their physicians to have this access, do you have them sign something stating they won't touch something or else!

We are a multi-specialty with 95 providers.

Do you have a process to get them updates to the custom lists pretty quick? If so, I wouldn't allow access. It could get really messy with that many providers. And, if you let a few, you may be opening a can of worms for all.

We don't allow access to these lists but make the changes among our team.

We allow our providers to add to their custom lists but they never do. In CPS 12 it is pretty easy to do that and really doesn't jeopardize the list unless they were to start doing a lot of deleting. The alternative is to let them start building their own custom med list and they could even start building their own problem list once you have entered a problem list in the background with their name then they could add problems or meds to their specific custom list and not have access to change other providers lists.

We suggest not letting them have access to anything in admin. We tell our providers to give us their updates and we do them twice a year or quarterly. Once you allow this type of access, it opens up the door to wanting other types of edits/access.

I am the CMIO for our multi-specialty group, and I am the only doc who has this access. I have no objection to other physicians having access to edit medication lists, but nobody wants it. It comes down to pros/cons. For the user who is somewhat tech savvy, the cons are really not a barrier.

PROS: convenience of correcting errors in specific entries, deleting meds no longer used, correcting the entries when the reference number changes making eprescribing unavailable, changing directions, other minor changes. Saves time for support staff.

CONS: If you don't pay attention the user could accidentally delete meds, delete the entire list accidentally, edit the wrong list, other similar things.
