Hi All.
I am new to AC and trying to figure out how to implement it for our holistic & integrative practice. The Dr. here sees patients for 1 hour at a time and discusses several different health issues in one visit.
I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to create some sort of "Working Document" that keeps a summary of all relevant information on a particular condition being evaluated (ex. Lower GI problems).
I thought at first to put everything in the HPI section of the encounter. However, there is some information that we would need to add to this "repository" when the patient is not in the office (ex. most recent comprehensive digestive analysis results - so that it is all summarized there for the doctor and she doesn't have to look around for the necessary information). We wouldn't want to create a new encounter if the patient is not actually being seen just to enter this new information.
Any ideas on how else we might be able to achieve this effect in AC? Messages cannot be edited after they are made, right? And I am not sure addendums would work either.
It may be that this just isn't possible, which would be helpful to know as well so that we can start brainstorming something else.
Thanks for your thoughts.
Cheers,
S.K.
