Change Attending in Oasis |
It is vitally important that we all know who the attending physician is for our inpatients.
If the attending listed in Oasis is incorrect, you can enter an order "change attending physician".
The admit-transfer center will then update all clinical systems within a few hours. Please routinely use this CPOE order to update the attending physician for our inpatients. |

Dear MUSC Medical Staff,
As a reminder, in the last several months, we have started a monthly physician leader meeting, which includes:
- Medical Center Medical Directors
- Medical Center Department Chairpersons
- GME Program Directors
At each of these meetings, the medical center team and I review the latest performance of the medical center as well as make the physician leadership team aware of upcoming issues of importance to all physicians.
I have asked each of these physician leaders to share the information with you, but in case they have not, the key messages from the July 25, 2013 meeting are here.
The following items were discussed:
- South Carolina Hospital Association (SCHA) Mission 2013
- US News & World Report
- Medical Center Communication Plan
- Medical Center Goal Performance
- Flu Vaccine - upcoming changes to policy
- New Patient Satisfaction Survey
- New Children's Hospital logo
- Employee / Physician Survey - preliminary results
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask your physician leader or myself
Thank you for the great care you provide every day!
Sincerely,
Patrick J. Cawley, MD
Executive Director/CEO, Medical Center
Vice President for Clinical Operations, University |
