Draft

Draft notes can only be viewed by the author of the note and are not a part of the patient record. To make it an official part of the record, you must save the note as Preliminary or Final. Then its status cannot be changed back to Draft.

You can delete a draft note at any time. Draft notes are automatically deleted after six months. You will be notified of the impending deletion via clinical message or e-mail beginning two weeks prior to the six month deletion date.

Note: If you try to create more than one draft note for the same patient on a particular service date, you will be prompted to either 1) open the current draft note or 2) create a new note.
