Two Items Fixed

1. Rx Called In is now working

2. An error in coding Comprehensive Nursing Home evaluations and follow up Nursing Home evaluations has been repaired.

Session Start and Stop Times

On PN 2 in section three there is now the opportunity to record the session start and stop time, which is increasingly a documentation requirement in some localities.

Lab Requisitions Now in Instructions/Recommendations/Plan

Lab requisitions, which were previously being put into the history section of the note, are now being put into the Instructions/Recommendation/Plan part of the note, where it more logically belongs.

Header Font Style

Headers are the title of paragraphs in ICANotes. For example, "History", "Mental Status", "Social History."

Users can now pick the formatting style of those headers. For example, they can be made all capitals, underlined, italicized and/or bolded. In this way, the look of the final note can be individualized to the preference of the user.

These settings can be changed using the "Preferences" button at the top left of the Chart
Room.

Time Stamp

The time stamp, which has been working erratically, has been fixed. In addition, it is now possible to either include the time stamp on progress notes and/or initial exams or to omit it. However, this preference must be set by us, so if you wish to change your current time stamp settings please send an email to support@icanotes telling us whether or not you want the time stamp on your clinical notes.

As noted in a previous post, you can also set the correct time zone for your office location.

From the Chart Room, push the "Preferences" button in the upper left of the screen. That takes you to the Preferences page where your correct time zone is easily selected.

Form Letter

The way the Form Letter section of the program works has been changed. The major change is that the completed Form letter, after having been printed, can now either be included in the progress note section of the chart or simply discarded.
