Has anything changed?
• There are several true “upgrades” to items that we use today.
• There are many new features that are required for meaningful use.
• There is one feature that has been removed.
New Features
• An “on the fly” selection of a date of service in the chart list
• Viewing multiple providers in one chart list• Pharmacy is in view within the clinical summary • Past and future appointments are in view within
the clinical summary• Rx favorite list now allows providers to save their
SIG in their favorites and also to a master file.
What was removed?
The additional referring provider will no longer be available with in the summary screen.
• The process will remain the same for adding additional providers to the patient’s chart.
• That information will now only be viewed in the same area/tab that is accessed to add an additional provider.
