Check list before you leave for vacation or an away rotation
(For HMC continuity
clinic residents only)
- Make
a list of active/pending patient issues that your fellow resident
needs to follow-up on while you're gone.
Alternatively, create a Proxy In-Box Folder in ORCA for your
attending or fellow resident.
Proxy In-Box Folder: You can
give other providers access to certain results which appear in your
In-Box. They can review and sign these
while you are gone. Instructions on how
to do this can be found at www.orcaed.washington.edu. Click on ‘How do I…” and then under the
‘In-Box’ heading, select ‘Proxy In-Box Review Folder.”
- Make
plans to check ORCA inbox from a local computer OR ask your attending
or fellow resident to review lab results.
- Notify
Anita Leake and Dr. Terasaki: send them an
e-mail (aleake@u.washington.edu
and terasaki@u.washington.edu)
and they will forward notice of your absence to the appropriate
staff. Also, placing a sign on your
clinic mailbox seems to work well to remind staff that that they will need
to find someone else to fill out forms etc.
If you are
leaving for longer than one week and are planning on checking e-mail
infrequently,
- Put
your email account on VACATION mode. (How?)
https://mailsrvc-h.u.washington.edu/1/edm2/front.cgi/vacation When an email is received, the program will
automatically send your vacation message to the sender. Your vacation message
should include the dates you will be gone and who is covering your clinic
panel while you are away. Don’t forget to turn off.
