How "Include Medical History in Notes" Works

Regardless of settings, the Medical History is set to appear in all Initial or Complete Evals.

In the Preferences section (accessible from the Chart Room) there is a setting which asks "Include Medical History in all notes: Yes No."

How that preference is set will determine if the medical history is included in progress notes for that patient. If it is set as "yes" the box on Progress Note two will be marked to "Include Medical History in note; x yes." If left checked as "yes", the Medical History will appear in the progress note and in all subsequent progress notes.

But, how ever the preference is set, it can be overrode while a progress note is being made. That is, the "Include Medical History in note" on PN 2 can be checked or unchecked by the user at any time. Once it is checked or unchecked it will be carried forward to the next note in the same way and can be unchecked or checked in any subsequent note.
