Printing Encounter Note
Contents
A Encounter note is a documentation method employed by healthcare providers to create a patient’s chart. It describes the patient’s current condition in narrative form.
The system generates the Encounter note separately for each encounter (visit). It shows all the charting elements recorded for a particular encounter in the presentable format. The charting elements displayed on the Encounter note are Chief Complaints/HPI, Vitals, Medications/Allergies, History, ROS, Immunizations, Health Maintenance, Results/Orders Queue, Physical Exam, Diagnosis, Treatment Plan, Review of Results, and supplementary info, if added. The order of charting elements displayed on the Encounter note is configurable. Users can set the order of charting elements on the Encounter note according to their requirement. When an encounter is in-progress, details entered in any of the charting elements are updated in the Encounter note.
When recording charting elements provider may want to refer to the previous encounter details. Click the 
icon when recording charting elements.
Note: A list of charting elements to be displayed on the Encounter note can be configured from the Administration section.
