Clinical Summaries for Each Office Visit
Meaningful Use requests that the information include diagnostic test results, patient problem list, medication list, and medication allergy list at a minimum.
This can be accomplished in SOAPware in two ways. The first involves printing the information in the CCR (Continuity of Care Record) format which includes a "snapshot" of the patient's chart for the last 30 days. The second method will be placing the "Clinical Summary Provided" on a Document Design that includes SOAPnote and Summary information.
Both of this methods can be tracked in order to qualify for the Meaningful Use initiatives and will update the MU Patient Dashboard.
