If your practice has both athenaClinicals and the OB Episode tracking feature enabled, the two pieces of functionality share much of the same data.

The following fields are auto-populated with data from the OB page in the patient chart:

• Episode Department
• Initial Date
• EDD Date (based on the Final EDD indicated in the patient chart, not the estimated EDD)
• Weeks Gestation at Initial

When the clinical OB episode is closed (from the patient chart), the revenue cycle OB Episode is also closed, and the link in the patient's Quickview is updated to indicate that the episode is closed.

Note: The OB Episode: EDD List Generation report includes patients only when the Final EDD field is filled in on the OB episode. OB episodes with an autocalculated Final EDD date that have not been saved do not appear in the report. The Final EDD date must be saved or manually entered for the patient to appear in the OB Episode: EDD List Generation report.

At the top of the OB Episode tab is a link to Print/Fax OB Episode Form. This form includes information from the patient level, the episode level, and even the encounter level. Click the link to view the form, and then click Print to print a copy of the form.

To determine which forms should be printed, you can use the OB reports. Using the OB Episode: EDD List Generation page, you can identify all patients due to deliver in a certain time frame. In that way, you can determine which patients need a form printed and sent to the hospital.

The OB Episode form (similar to the ACOG Antepartum Record) can be automatically faxed to an outside clinical provider (e.g., the Labor and Delivery floor of the hospital).

1. In the OB Episode tab in the patient chart, click the Print/Fax OB Episode Form link at the top of the page.
2. To select the fax destination, enter the hospital name in the Clinical Provider search field. The fax number for that clinical provider (if available) is filled in.
3. Click Fax to send the form to the selected recipient. This action creates a new document assigned to ATHENAFAX.
   Note: To locate this task in the Clinical Inbox, click the Total row for tasks assigned to ATHENAFAX. The document is labeled "OB Episode Summary" in SUBMIT status. At the bottom of the document, the action history includes the time that the document was sent and the user that sent it. Once submitted, the document no longer appears in the Clinical Inbox.
