Selecting the Carry Forward option allows practices to specify that entries suppressed on a patient’s Visit Summary Report be also suppressed on future Visit Summary Reports for that patient, either manually created or auto-generated. A check box for “Carry Forward” is added to the Custom Visit Summary screen.
Contact your LMR support analyst for details on enabling this feature.
Entries are only suppressed for Visit Summary Reports for patients with appointments for that same provider. Entries are not suppressed for visits that patient has with other providers.
Only applies to entries suppressed by the provider when manually generating the Visit Summary Report (via the Reports > Visit Summary Report module). If the provider has not previously suppressed entries, none are suppressed.
Does not apply if the provider has elected to override the practice setting. The provider can elect not to carry forward previous entries that he or she has suppressed by clicking to deselect the VSR Carry Forward option (available via Custom Preferences).
