St Thomas West Requests

St. Thomas West does not use "23-hour Obs". They would like this option greyed out for West.

If Pre-Auth is selected "Yes," they would like to make the "Pre-Auth" number field mandatory before scheduling.

Please see attached screenshots of requests from Lisa Baugus, RN

    23 hour OBS is no longer an "official" way to enter the hospital. A patient is either OP or InPt. The are "moved" to 23 hour OBS after a medical need arises. So, yes, this option should be eliminated.
