Did you know Ordering Clinicians can be assigned a unique Personal Identification Number (PIN)?
 
When an Ordering Clinician (OC) receives a notification of a Critical Result, she or he has to dial an 800 number and input a six-digit access code.  However, to ease the Ordering Clinician's retrieval of a Critical Result, Veriphy offers each Ordering Clinician the ability to set-up her or his own PIN. The PIN eliminates the need to input a different access code each time a Critical Result is received.  Once the OC has setup her or his PIN, they simply input their PIN in place of the six-digit access code and can retrieve the Critical Result. For more information and sample communication tools to send to Ordering Clinicians regarding the PIN, please contact your Account Manager.

Did you know Veriphy can Embargo Results that do not require immediate attention?
  
Lower severity result notifications, i.e. a lung nodule, requiring follow-up care, but are not immediately life threatening can be set-up with an Embargo timeframe. The Embargo timeframe will hold Veriphy notifications in a queue to prevent disruptive notifications to Ordering Clinicians for that specific severity. The level of severity is determined by the Radiologist, Lab Tech, Anatomical Pathologist, and each facility can determine not only which severity levels include Embargo, but will also determine the timeframes.  If you have additional questions, or need to make changes to your current Embargo times, please contact your Account Manager for assistance.

Did you know Veriphy is available to help make updates to your Ordering Clinician Directory and in particular assist with adding incoming Residents?
  
As new Clinicians begin placing orders at your facility, there are many ways to ensure they are effectively added to Veriphy.  Extensive lists of Residents, for example, can be emailed to Veriphy for an automated upload and the Account Managers can help make sure they are associated to any Clinical Teams you may use. All new Clinicians can also be emailed to Veriphy to be added to the directory per your defined Data Maintenance policy.

Did you know a group of Clinicians can be setup as a Clinical Team in Veriphy to help facilitate communication of Critical Results?
 
The Clinical Team functionality allows a group of physicians to be notified of a Veriphy message in a common format.  A shared device can be used, or in many cases escalation of notifications can be sent to a shared device or supervising Clinician.  The benefit of this functionality is best seen when a service area, specialty group, department, or residents should be communicated to in a team format vs. as individuals.  Your Account Manager can assist with information on when a Clinical Team may benefit your facility or an area within the Ordering Clinician community.
