EPIC – Modified Barium Swallow Scheduling (MBS)

If patient calls in and you go into the ReGain que and see the order for Modified Barium Swallow as
below, do NOT schedule from that order. Instead, look in the order summary and copy down the
physician and diagnosis then go to patient apt desk

Here you will need to click on “Make Apt” and then schedule a ST Eval MBS with any speech therapist
Once you make the ST Eval MBS you will then need to go to Transcribe Order at the top and transcribe a
speech therapy order with the physician and diagnosis you copied down earlier
Once the order is transcribed, you then need to go back to the patient apt desk, click on the ST Eval MBS
and from the menu, select Link Orders
Once on the Link Orders screen, you will then need to click on the bottom left hand side of the screen
that says “include orders that do not match visit type” once you find the Speech Therapy Order, select it,
then at the bottom right corner, click on Accept
The speech eval for the modified now has the correct order type linked to it. You will then need to go
back to the Regain Schedule Orders Que, fine the Modified Barium Swallow Test order and defer it out
one day past the eval. So if eval is on the 3rd, defer the MBS Order out until the 4 th with a note stating
“Radiology Order – will schedule after eval”

The reason it needs to be done this way is because if we change or link the MBS radiology order to the
speech eval, once the patient arrives for the speech eval, the order is then automatically closed out and
falls off the patient and then there is an issue over in radiology the day of their test because, it doesn’t
unlink itself until the day of testing which holds up testing, makes me have to create duplicate orders and
can be seriously tedious if I am not here to correct it. The flow above is what needs to follow for MBS
eval scheduling when a patient only has a Modified Barium Swallow radiology order in the que.
