Provider Approval Queue

To use the PAQ, you must enable it first and set up the provider assignment and relationship, required signoff items, and operations rights in the System Administrator application. As a provider or delegate, you can access the PAQ from the Workflow module. Note: A patient Inclusion or Exclusion List may restrict your access to PAQ items. If you are a workflow delegate for another user or provider, you may not be able to access the same PAQ items as that person. If you do not have access to a patient, the Restricted message appears under the Patient and Description columns. For more information on Inclusion and Exclusion List viewing restrictions, go to NextGen Healthcare Success Community, and download the following documents.

Excluding Selected Messages from the Provider Approval Queue (PAQ)

Some items that appear in the Provider Approval Queue (PAQ) may not need any action from the provider. An example is the metadata items that are sent by certain hospitals. To save providers from reviewing such items, an administrator can create rules allowing selected types of messages to bypass the PAQ. Using the Interoperability Rules Engine, an administrator can exclude messages from the PAQ based on the message format (CDA or HL7), source, document format, or document description. If a rule allows an item to bypass the PAQ, the item still appears in the patient chart in NextGen® Enterprise EHR. If you do not want an item to bypass the PAQ, you can hover over an item, and select Document Options button, on the Categories tab, and then select Send to Provider Approval Queue to send the item to the PAQ manually. For more information, go to NextGen Healthcare Success Community, and download the Interoperability Rules Engine User Guide forNextGen®Enterprise. Parent topic: Workflow Modul
