Hi we are just starting out with AC and are currently in the trial phase, so far so good, just a few ?? if anyone can help.
#1 we are mainly a procedure based practice (Dermatology. The way AC is set up seems more geared to office visit. Where within the note are most putting the procedures? We have been putting them in the assessment section and this seems to work, but wondered if there were any better ideas.
#2 I am a little confused by the double "sign screen" once the provider signs the chart, it opens a second screen for billing input. Since we are using our own PM and still have old fashioned paper superbills to be used up we weren't going to use this portion at least for now. However it seems that unless it is signed also, the encounter does not save? Does it need to be signed? If it is signed can the codes be changed later if nec? Also does it need to be filled in to accurately reflect for MU?
#3 I thought I had seen somewhere on this forum, but now I can't find it, the ability to create a chart note in word and then input it into the chart, using keywords and > shortcuts to allow the program to insert in the proper spot. Is there anything like this?
And finally, is there a way to set up a default patient? We are a derm office and would like to have the front back body illustration automatically in place for each encounter. It is not a big deal but would be great if it could be defaulted.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give!
