How do you assign yourself as the consulting physician?

The process of assigning yourself as the consulting physician typically involves a straightforward action that confirms your role in relation to a specific patient. Choosing to right-click on the patient's name and selecting 'Assign Me' directly associates you with that patient's care and indicates your intention to be recognized as the consulting physician.

This method is intuitive because it allows for quick access to the relevant patient record and provides an immediate action to establish that consulting relationship. Utilizing a right-click action in a clinical information system is a common interface practice, making it an efficient choice for users to manage their patient assignments.

In contrast, the other options may not effectively establish your role as a consulting physician as clearly or efficiently. For example, selecting 'Consulting Physician' or utilizing the relationship tab may involve additional steps or may not be applicable depending on the specific system in use. Sending a request to the administering physician indicates a reliance on another party to formalize this relationship, which adds unnecessary delays and complexity to the process. Overall, selecting 'Assign Me' simplifies the task and ensures clarity in your role.
