FAQ

Should a receptionist make a clinical decision during this workflow?

No. Use the practice’s approved escalation intent and send clinical questions to the appropriate care-secure handoff member.

What belongs in the operational secure source trail?

The minimum approved identifier, the portal coordinator’s intent, the current visit owner, the next action, and the follow-up point. Avoid unnecessary clinical detail.

How should an overdue item be handled?

Follow the practice’s escalation guidance, update the visit owner, and tell the portal coordinator only what the secure handoff can support. Do not invent a response time.

For portal coordinator notes, source trail the entry against observable facts, visit constraints, source attribution, and closure language. Keep the portal coordinator’s wording distinct from what the caller verified, name the accountable visit owner, and secure handoff the next observable checkpoint. Do not convert an administrative secure source trail into clinical advice or a promise.
