The wonderful suggestion (no bias intended
) of placing the constant fields on the chart's left, and encounter notes on chart's right got a bit trunkated in the poll. It currently reads:
"Present Encounters Page laid out so that chart's LEFT side contains all the fields that A) remain constant (FH, SH, etc.) and B) contains lists that are constantly updated and referred to (Med Lists, Problem List, Intervention List). The RIGHT side would"
Description Should read: "Place on Chart's LEFT side: all fields containing either fixed information (PMHx, SHx, FHx Allergies ) or running lists (Problem List, Interventions, Current Meds) , while place on chart's RIGHT side the fields renewable at each encounter. (Chief complaint, Subjective, Objective, Asmnt, Plan, Meds, Follow up)"
Eg:
CHART LEFT SIDE__________CHART RIGHT SIDE:
Problem List*________________Cheif Compliant
PMHx______________________Subjective
ROS_______________________Objective
Interventions________________Diagnosis
SHx________________________Assessment
FHx________________________Plan
Allergies____________________Prescribed Medications
Current Meds list*____________Follow-up
