I want to use the Patient->Print->Encounters/Notes by Date Range function when referring a patient to another provider. However, this option prints all messages, which I definitely do not want to include in the printed documents. I can't figure out how to exclude the messages from being printed, as they are the only thing printed if I uncheck all option boxes. Does anyone know how to exclude messages?
I think you have recognized that you have a choice with the method you describe: if you are willing to accept ALL of the progress notes, you can print them without messages. But if you want to select certain dates, you must include the messages. This is annoying, but there is no good way around it.
Of course you can select each individual encounter in the date range you choose and "print" (to Updox or a pdf printer) and then combine them into one document for transmittal.
