Well, here's the senario and solution.
I was asked to provide reference for hospital privileges for a former associate. The files that I used to keep that information on were with my old payroll system that has long been forgotten. I honestly could not remember the dates.
I called her to ask what dates she had provided and she never called me back. We are on good terms, guess she somehow overlooked the message.
I would up calling the hospital and told them the situation, they gave me the dates she had provided and I used them.
Then I saw Indy's response above. What I did then was query provider seen and encounter date. I started with > 1/1/2003 and marched it up until I came up with 9/17/2003. I then marched down from < 01/01/2008 until I came to 01/17/2007. These dates are somewhat different than they gave me but are within 6 months or so. She had been a resident with me, doing COC clinic at my office, so there was no "ramp up" time. Her COC visits were co-signed so they were different.
The solution was somewhat clunky, but I did it in less than 5 minutes once I figured out how to solve the problem.
