We are converting over to AC and are chomping at the bit to enter patient information before a visit to save time when they come in. It looks like we can work on the Summary Sheet and add medications and problem lists, but I would also like to have a chance to put in their PMH, FH/SH before their first AC-recorded visit. It looks like we can "fake" an encounter and make the cc something like "inputing data", but I hate to do a work around unless I know there is no better way. AC support suggested that we start an encounter and send it to someone and it will be ready to go when they come in next. Problem with this is that it will clutter the mailbox (I may input complicated-patients data months before a visit) and potentially make it unavailable to others. Ideas for me? If we have the energy to get stuff in, sure hate to waste it. thanks.
