Group Signing

When the Sign Note button is pressed the program automatically selects For All Patients. If any encounter data is missing such as service-connected status, the program will prompt you for it at this time. 

 

Note: When you sign the note in the Sign Note dialog, you are signing for every patient in the group.


Note: ICD-10-CM Diagnosis information will display in the pane below "Encounter Data for CPRSPATIENT…" if the encounter date is on or after the ICD-10 activation date.

 

The screen capture shows the Group Notes application with the Sign Note dialog on top. On the left, you can see that this note will be signed for 3 patients.

If business rules specify that you need a co-signer, notifications will appear in CPRS to the effect that the expected co-signer has notes ready to sign.

 

After the signature has been accepted, if the Group Note has been set up for additional signer(s), the Add Signers button becomes enabled.


Note: You can assign one or more additional signer(s) to one patient or all patients.


ICD-10-CM Diagnosis information will display in the pane below "Encounter Data for CPRSPATIENT…" if the encounter date is on or after the ICD-10 activation date.
