I was told that a local IDTF will no longer accept our radiology orders because the signed by lists the LPN's name not the physician's name. When the LPN receives the verbal order from the physician he/she enters the order changing the Authorizing Provider to the correct physician. When the order prints it lists the correct Authorizing Provider, but lists the LPN under signed by. The radiology office is stating that is goes against CMS guidelines starting in 2014. Just wondering if this is true or if there is anyway to change the way the order prints. We currently use the Provider Form when printing. Thank you

Our local hospital also requires the order to state "signed by the physician". We have adjusted the work flow, nursing staff will start the order and route to the physician for final signature. I'm not sure about the CMS guidelines and we print all orders using Ignis/Liaison.
