Support for Linked Admitting History & Physical Notes

Enhancement updates provide short alerts to new, fixed or improved Connect Care functions...

• Linked H&P Notes

An admitting "history and physical" (H&P) document must be filed for all admitted patients. However, a prior (pre-op) history and physical may have been completed in anticipation of the admission, a consult note (normally done in the emergency room) may have all required content or an emergency physician may do the admission and want to use the ED Provider Note as the admitting H&P. 

All of these possibilities are supported with a tool in the Admission Navigator that allows the H&P requirement to be satisfied with a link to a suitable other note. Use of a completed and signed ED Provider Note is supported by this workflow starting with Launch 7.
