Saving an Encounter as a Note

Use the following steps to save a finalized encounter summary as an LMR note. You can view or update this note from the Notes module.

1.   If you haven't already, select the patient and go to the EOV encounter view.

2.   Click the option button to the left of the date and time of the encounter.

3.   Click Save as Note. The LMR displays a verification message.

4.   Click Ok.

5.   If you want to save your work now, click Sign (F10). The LMR indicates the changes that will be saved. Type your key and click Sign. The LMR saves the encounter summary with a status of Preliminary, allowing you to edit the note, as required. However, any changes you make to the note do not update the associated encounter.
