MK:

If I understand you properly, you want to type a Procedure note, but you don't want it in the form of a Progress note, because you don't fill the PMH and other fields in, and you don't want to see a bunch of floating headings in your typed report. Have I got that right?

If so, my suggestions would be on the lines of using the Addendum feature, or else putting it in the form of a letter. Both of those features can be accessed by right-clicking on the patient's name in the schedule or message screens.

Addendums are saved under Past Encounters, and letters are saved under imported items. I think Addendums would be more reliable for you, and you have the option to generate a charge ticket from that point, also.

Give that a try, and see what you think!

Good luck.
