OK, here is another thought. Just in case we are talking about different things. Again, doubtful, but possible.

Is it possible that the nurse brings up the chart and enters his/her data and forwards the chart to you. Then, you open the chart from your Inbox and choose to not delete the chart from your Inbox. Then you work with the note and then SIGN it off. This would be hard to miss, because you would have to go through the entire process of coding, but...

For me, that would be the end of it. But, maybe you are thinking of adding to the note. So you go back and open the nursing note which, of course, would be blank.

Of course, when you say blank, I am not sure if you mean blank from the standpoint of what you wrote in the exam, etc. or if EVERYTHING in the chart (PMH, MEDS, etc.) are gone.
