Patient Docs

The Patient file Docs tab stores patient documents. This information can be used to track the sending and receiving of orders and to print required state forms.

Go to Patient > Admit/Maintain > Docs tab.

Document records are auto-created with the Sent-Date when a user marks a record as Order Sent via the Physician Order Tracking Report in Clinical when the Order is configured as Order Exportable. The Recv-Date is written when a user marks the Order as Order Returned via the Physician Order Tracking Report.

To manually add a record on the Docs tab, press the button.

Type: Select the document type from the drop-down list. These types pull from File>File Maintenance>Category, Document Type.

Effect-Date: This is the Order Date of the record sent from Clinical. This date is used for All Docs Received edits on the Billing Pre-Audit Report for PDGM periods.

Sent-Date: The Sent Date will default to today's date. Change this date if necessary.
