Auditing Pasted Text in Clinical Documents

When a user is in the appropriate user class, the user can view pasted text in signed notes according to the parameters the site has set for what constitutes pasted text. For authorized users, the notes will display with a Pasted Data pane. In this pane are two areas: a listing of all items that were pasted into the note. The items are identified as New before the note is signed and by the date after it is signed.

When the user selects an item by the date, the text of the paste displays in a pane next to the list of pastes. Also, the text displays as a pasted in the way the user selected (bold, highlighted, underlined, italicized, or a combination of these attributes).

This screen shot shows the Notes
tab and how the copy/paste features work--including the date/times for pasted texts, the text 
highlighted in the note, and the paste information in the pane below.

To view pasted text in CPRS, use these steps:

  1. On the Notes tab, if you have been assigned as a user who can audit and there is text that has been pasted into the note you are viewing, you will see a new Pasted Data pane below the main note pane.

  3. When an item is highlighted, such as when the user selects a date, the pasted text will display in the pane to the right of the list and it will be displayed as the user defined on the Notes tab of the Options dialog. In the pane to the right of the Pasted Data List, the user can see the following information about the pasted text:
