OUTPATIENT CLINIC GUIDE
THE PATIENT ENCOUNTER
• Check-in and vitals are completed by the medical
assistant (MA).
• All charts are viewed via Baylor EMR. Go to “Clinic Visit
History.”
• Once you have completed your clinic visit, complete the
following checklist:
- Clinic Visit form, only middle and right column is
required.
- Universal Medication List at each visit with resident
signature.
- Lab Request form for same day, one week prior to
next visit, or both.
- Fill out any consult or imaging forms as needed.
- Retrieve, record on log, and place med samples in
bag with “Instructions” form placed inside and patient
label placed on outside of bag.
- Write all prescriptions with DPS and DEA # on each
Rx
- Return appointment/referral form.
- Dictate Clinic Visit. Dictation “type” = ‘98’.
- Find a nurse to “check-out” by reviewing each
above item with RN. The nurse will then dispense
meds, prescriptions, and papers to the patient.
RESOURCES
• The clinic chiefs (two residents) accept clinic patients bimonthly.
BUMC then assigns them to category 1 through
8, category 1 being least funded. There are various
resources that can be offered to the patients based on
these categories.
• The patient’s category and insurance information are
located on the face sheet.
