omg. I almost never find a great feature on a small update worth upgrading for. But, the upgrade, 3.7.12 has the best feature in long while. The ability to click on a button below the plan window which prints out the plan as instructions for the patient. It documents that you did this in the note. It also prints it out as a letter to the patient telling them the plan. An example:
BILL,
Here is a summary of the plan discussed. Please contact us if you have any further questions or concerns:
PRESCRIBE: Augmentin tablets 875 mg, 1 po bid for 10 days, # 20, RF: None.
Continue nebulizer treatments as prescribed three times a day. Call the office or go to ED for fever > 101 or difficulty breathing.
F/U in three days.
==================
So, all of this information is already there. It is simply extracted into a note. Plus, since it is in the letter writer, 1) you can insert any number of templates as instructions -- which may not be in the note, but 2) the letter will be saved to the patient's chart.
Some have asked for this before and Jon apparently listened. Very nice Jon. Thanks.
