Covering Rights

The Covering Rights setting allows physicians to assign rights and privileges to other physicians credentialed in the relevant clinic to ensure patients are cared for in their absence.

Covering Rights Privileges

Covering Rights allows the covering physician to create orders, view patient data, and create encounters for the patients they are covering.

There are two views within the Covering Rights option – Assign Rights and Rights Assigned to Me.

When the desired option is tapped, a green line will display under the menu title, indicating that the menu is active.

Assign Rights

Under Assign Rights, the assigning physician will see a list of candidate physicians who are credentialed in the same facilities as the assigning physician.  

If the facilities where the assigning physician and/or the covering physician change, the assigning physician will need to review and update their covering rights assignments.
