Later in November we are looking to continue with our efforts of progressively streamlining documentation. This change will consist of continuing the ability to VIEW the past medical history control, but no longer manipulating it. It will be in a "view only" state.
The goal is to document patient issues on the problem list. For all clinic nursing intakes that currently contain the past medical history control, we will be removing those and replacing them with the problem/diagnosis control. Not all locations use these tools for nursing, so continue on as usual with your current workflow...it will just be a different control within nursing documentation. Also, the option of "patient stated" has been added as the default setting for nurses, so they will not have to worry about making that selection every time. It will work that way for both the powerform in ad hoc charting as well as the TOC workflow.
Providers: Be aware that if you do come across a nurse-entered problem that you wish to convert with the "patient stated" listed within it, you will need to make sure to select the drop-down and manually change the classification to "medical".
Listed below are examples of the changes taking place.
*Please be aware that we are not able to disable the "ADD" button itself when you are within the View Only PMHx tab. If you do select it, it will take you to the Add functionality, but will not allow you to actually add anything. If you find yourself within the "ADD" screen, simply select the "cancel" button to back out.
