I am still a neophyte user of AC. To date, I have used AC to set up new patient charts and to enter existing patients when they come for PE. So, those notes are complete with all sections. Now, I am beginning to use AC for followup visits and sick visits with the patients who have been entered. When I use a prior visit to start the note, I am trying to decide whether to carry forward all of the PMH, FH, SH, etc into each subsequent note. It seems like it makes the notes exceedingly verbose if I do include it all. (In my paper chart, I had a summary sheet on the left page always visible, and I would just chart a SOAP note on the right progress note page, no need to re-document all the unchanged info every time) Could I have suggestions from experienced users, please?
