Note: To finalize Draft notes, see Working with Draft Notes.
1. If you haven't already, go to the Document Management module. Your Preliminary queue is displayed.
2. Click the subject of the note you want to finalize to display it in edit mode.
3. Do either of the following, as appropriate:
To finalize the selected note only, click Final.
To review and finalize your list of notes, click Final/Next (or Final for the last note in the queue).
4. 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.
Caution: Updates to structured lists (such as
problems, procedures, medications, and allergies) from notes uploaded
from a transcription service will not be reflected in the patient
chart. Such updates must be separately input to keep the patient's
chart up to date.
Note: The LMR automatically archives notes in your Final queue after 30 days. (To view archived notes, click the Archive link.) Regardless of its status in your queue, every patient note is always available from the Notes module within the patient chart.
