Post-Procedure Medications Section

athenaClinicals

This section allows you to record the medications administered post-procedure, without these details becoming part of the patient's history. Use this section for documentation only, and not for prescribing.

 

Note: The medications you record as administered during a procedure are not added to the patient's medication history.

 

This section appears in the encounter for appointment types that are mapped to the "Structured Procedure Visit" or the "Exam-Only Structured Procedure Visit" encounter layout. You can use the Assign Appointment Types to Layouts page to map appointment types to encounter layouts.

 

 

 

Your practice must have the Structured Procedure Documentation feature enabled to configure and use this section.
