Referrals to Home Care
- Home Care referrals need to go through the central Continuing Care Access (CCA) team. In the Home Care order set/SmartSet, the “To Department Specialty” field is prefilled with “Continuing Care Access” to ensure it gets to the CCA team, and this field should not be changed. See the tip sheet for details.
- An issue was identified for Emergency Department prescribers when searching for the Home Care referral order. The fix is to use the "Discharge Templates" tile in the "Dispo" tab to find the appropriate Home Care referral SmartSet (search for "home care"). A quick link will soon be added so the SmartSet can be directly accessed without searching. In the meantime, see the tip sheet for details on how to search and find.
