When a Mid-Level Provider, such as a Nurse Practitioner or Resident, signs a note in Enterprise EHR, they usually need to have a Supervising or Attending Physician review and Sign the note. These are the necessary steps to force the user to send the note for further signature:

    • Go to TWAdmin>Dictionaries>Document Type.
    • In the example below, Established document type has Finalization Authority Level 8.
  2. Check the box labeled ‘Prompt User to Route for Further Signature’ on the General Properties II section of the Document Type.

  4. When the user with a lower Finalization Authority Level than the selected note signs the note, the Task Details dialogue box will appear forcing the user to select an Attending Provider to Co-Sign their note.
    • The User MUST send the task to move forward.
