Processing Journal Entries for Health Maintenance

Note: The following applies only if both of the following are true:

• Your practice is participating in the PACCT study.

• The patient has active journal entries (submitted using the Patient Gateway application).

1.   If you haven't already, go to the Health Maintenance module. Patients with active journal entries include the following:

• a link to the journal is indicated by the letter J.

• the date of the journal.

• a column for Patient Comment, added to the Health Maintenance grid.

2.   Do one or more of the following (based on journal entries):

• update health maintenance

  To update the record using input from the patient's journal, click Update. The LMR displays the entry popup window for the associated item, pre-filling fields, if applicable. For example, the popup window for pneumovax displays as "Done elsewhere" if the patient has indicated accordingly. Complete fields, as appropriate, and click Ok (ALT+O).

• save the journal as a note

  a.   Click the J to display the journal in a new window.

  b.   Click Save as note.

3.   To close the health maintenance journal topic, click the associated button. The LMR displays a verification message. Click OK.

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.
