Mikeal,
Great name. I gather you are Russian? My mom's side is almost half russian. And my wife is pretty good a speaking Russian actually.
Anyway, Bring up the patient's name even just at the first main AC desktop window as you would to add them to an appointment, a message or anything else. Highlight them with a standard left click, then give 'em a right click and all these options come up in a window. Just about in the middle of that window is "print entire chart". And as you begin the process, AC brings up a new window to fill out that covers you for HIPAA as you document who and why you are printing this entire chart for. Now that is recorded and saved for that rainy (Hi there Rainy) day when someone tries to bother you about, why did you release that chart. Pretty simple. That recording of the release date will be on the patient's main demographic page if you ever care to find it.
I wish that this data was in the imported items area or the past encounters area where we could print or show it if and when needed.
Suggestion to all you Newbies. Set up one or two "false patients" early on with a low chart number. Now you and your people can play to your hearts delight with all the features of the program, all without worring about putting bad stuff in a real patient's chart. We have James Bond and poor James is a very sick man. Our last program (but that is another story for some other day) had a few pre-made, sectioned off from the main database false patients too.
I have asked AC to allow for a separate sectioned off place for this but as of yet no reply or implimentation. Right now as we create encounters for James his data and his monitary totals get factored in with the rest of the practice and that day, which is really very inappropriate and even dangerous. We should have a way to enter folks like false patients, our own kids, our own parents and in-laws, all of whom who we don't charge for, but we should none the less be tracking what we do for them, just in case. CMS says we shouldn't bill for these and that makes sense. But every time my kid has an allergy issue or a clogged ear doesn't mean that we are calling or having a visit at their PCP and she is cool with that. So we should have a way to section off a dozen or two charts as, not part of the main practice, off line, and not being calculated into the practice's data and demographics stuff. I feel the more AC becomes a PM, the more important this becomes.
But there you have it....Hope this helps.
Paul
