I have searched this forum for some answers and think that we have ended up more confused than when we started. First I want to give the scenario of what we want to do….
Provider A sees the patient, documents the visit, adds treatment, assessment, orders labs, xrays, etc….then we want Provider A to be able to assign that visit note to Provider B who will then review the note and acknowledge within the note that they have reviewed and agree to all assessments/treatments/etc. We want both Provider A and Provider B signature to appear at the bottom of the locked note.
The way that the co-sign feature works for us now is that Provider A documents, then locks note (which adds their signature), then assigns the note to provider B. Provider B then right clicks on the S Jelly bean and goes to their list of notes that have been assigned to them. They can then co-sign the note from that box, which will also add their signature to the bottom of the note. But what it does not allow for them to do is actually add a statement into the body of the note that they have “reviewed and agree with the documentation”. If they document in the co-sign box that pops up, that is not documented in the note (and I am not sure how to even go back and review that information after they have co-signed the note). I understand that Provider B can go into a locked note and add an addendum, but there is not a browse feature that they can pick to pop in a statement, they have to type the statement out each time which is time consuming for the provider.
Is there any way out there that will accomplish what we are looking for? Having both providers signature on the locked note as well as a statement from the second provider that they have reviewed and agree with the documentation?
