We used to just print the progress note because the letter requires all the sign offs (if I'm remembering correctly). Now we just print pt instructions as it doesn't have the codes and details on there. Also I agree with Bert--if they have it, that's just it. I've gotten yelled at by numerous pts for some of the more common diagnoses because their plan doesn't cover it or because they were offended. Can't change what you actually have. It's fraudulent and the doctor (who has a degree in this and continued education) thinks you have it. You have it. Deal./rant
Can't predict human behavior 100%. Just live, learn, and move on.
It would break my heart to see child abuse in the office. I would have a hard time not socking the pt's parents in the face for that. Bert you must be amazing to be able to deal with that. We see elderly abuse (still breaks my heart) but with children...I'd be incredibly fired.
Doctor was wondering: is there a way to link up diagnoses with Health Maintenence so that it'll show the need for screening based off past diagnoses? I forget, was that a suggestion?
