1.D.3 Monitoring the percentage of patient visits with selected clinician or team.
You need to produce a report showing the percentage of patient visits within a specified time period (at least five days) that are performed by the patient's PCP on record. This would need to reported for each provider. In the end, you'll need to produce a summary report showing:
- % of total visits where a PCP was assigned to the patient
- % of total visits where the provider who saw the patient was the PCP
