Clinical Messaging
This is used by a clinician or office/administrative staff to document any type of contact (contact notes) with the patient or patient's family members, i.e., request a refill, new appointment, etc.
Note: There is no place to record service or diagnosis codes.
1. From the Chart Face, click the button.
2. The Clinical Message window will open.
3. Start building the message on the left side. Each area can be filled in by a dropdown menu or free texting into the field.
Once the areas that you wish to use are filled in, click the button to move to the yellow message field.
4. Optional: Do you want to document the patient's mental state?
Clicking the button will open to the Mental State window.
5. There are shortcut keys on the top right and bottom right that you can use to enter words/phrases into the yellow message area.
