Bert,
Sorry it took a while to give you more details. Pertussis outbreak here on the island has really bogged me down.
We do progress/encounter notes for things like blood draws, u/a's (if done without a doctor's visit) and other nurses visits (allergy shots,immunizations, etc.). This let's us keep track of these things better for billing sake not to mention covering liability issues. The nurses have templates for these so it is generally easy and quick for them. If a lab gets done during a visit with me, I just put the results in the note. If it is a lab I want to track for the patient, I make sure it goes under the tracked item section on the summary page. Clear as mud?
I would invite you out for a live demo here but you probably don't want to catch the "cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, puke" thing!
