athenaClinicals

athenaOne for Hospitals & Health Systems

Encounter Document — Progress Note: Detailed descriptions of a patient's office visit taken on paper and faxed or scanned into the system. Depending on the status chosen when creating the fax cover sheet or label, these documents can be faxed in for review or auto-close. If these documents are tied to an open encounter and there are no unsigned orders or other errors, the encounter closes automatically.

 

Classification availability: Practice-only. athenahealth will not classify documents of this type.

If you use the Print Document Barcode method and fax the document, you can choose the status upon receipt: Review, Closed, or Data Entry. If you use the Add Document page to upload it to the patient chart, the status will be in Data Entry, so you must review the document and take action to close it.

 

If a document is in paper form, you can add it to the patient chart either by using Print Document Barcode and faxing the document to athenahealth, or by scanning the document into your computer and then using the Add Document page to upload it to the patient chart.
