When medical assistant enters vitals, medical assistant name is appearing (instead of physician name). Is it expected or something we need to correct?

OpenEMR posts the logged user in all its "data entry by who?" fields. Version 3.1.0 has a number of those able to have an alternative selected. It would really only matter if there is a legal requirement for a specific clinical licensure for certain data inputs, or if your organization has established such rules.
The exception to that is the Fee Sheet. Claims which have been entered by a clerical staffer MUST have the "Provider" selected or they may be rejected by payers, who are expecting the provider NPI in field 24J on a CMS1500 and its equivalent X12. Since the default for the provider is the last user to enter data in the Fee Sheet, that can be a problem.
