Shands Medical Plaza - SMP

Urgent Care at SMP – READ PRIOR TO GOING TO URGENT CARE

• Who: You staff this clinic, the cases will be precepted by the attendings working that day.

• When: 1:00pm sharp! Last patient scheduled for 3:30 PM.  You should not leave clinic prior to 4 PM. Please show up even if there are no patients scheduled as they can be scheduled last minute prior to appointment time.

• Where: 4th floor at the Medical Plaza, internal medicine clinic, physician work room (ask the nurse where this room is if you are lost).

• How: EPIC outpatient is slightly different than inpatient. In particular, make sure NOT to open the encounter for a patient ahead of time. This is done by “double-clicking” the specific encounter for the future appointment. If you open the encounter before they arrive, they will “disappear” from the schedule and an empty spot will appear allowing you to be double-booked. When this happens, both patients will need to be seen. If you desire to review a patient ahead of time then you can use the “Chart Review” function. Thus, you cannot pend your notes ahead of time, please wait until they have actually checked in to do so. Please review the required reading assignments "Urgent Care at Internal Medicine at Med Plaza" and "Workflow..." prior to your clinic. If you don't have continuity clinic or yours isn't at Med Plaza, you will need to have your preceptor move the patient to their schedule after you've seen them or the encounter won't close properly. Please ask your attending if you're not sure what this means.
