The issues identified earlier this week regarding the new Social History Control data not being able to be pulled into PowerNotes has been updated. The notes and the control were not "broken", but Cerner no longer supports this type of documentation, so there was no existing way to accomplish populating the notes with the nursing documentation.
The clinical PowerChart teams worked to find a better solution this week. As of this morning, there are serveral popular PowerNotes that have had a new template added to the Histories section.
To amend your existing notes to include this (including any precompleted notes), when you are offered the Auto Populate option upon opening a new note, you will have to check the box shown below for each note template you use (one time only):
All PowerNotes will have the new template added shortly, but this effort takes time due to the amount of notes that need to be modified. In the mean time, if you have a note that does not yet have the new template, the following is instructions as to how you can manually add the same template wherever you want within your note.
Click a "white" spot in between categories within your note, such as by the Histories section as shown below. Then select the "insert template" icon in the toolbar. If there is Social History nursing documenation already completed, it will now be pulled where your cursor is located. The template you are looking for is called "Social History Control."
