A provider note is created for a patient who has received Covid-19 vaccination.

The provider note contains the dosage number of the vaccine. This helps the user verify that the correct dose was administered to the patient.

Dosage No in Provider Note

Users have the option to disable the sharing of certain provider notes with patients on the patient portal.

When a new provider note is created for a patient, the system displays a checkbox ‘Do not share with Patient’.

Do not share with Patient

If the user checks the box for a provider note and signs it, the system does not share the provider note on the patient portal.

Similarly, checking the ‘Do not share with patient’ box while editing a signed provider note hides the note from the patient portal.

If the user attempts to manually send a provider note to patient portal for which the ‘Do not share with Patient’ box is checked, the system displays an alert.

Alert

In order to enable/disable provider notes sharing on the patient portal, settings must be configured. Click here to view how.

Moreover, an effective date can be set for sharing provider notes on the patient portal. The system only shares the provider note signed on or after the configured effective date.

The system does not share a provider note which is signed on or after the set effective date but has the ‘Do not share with patient’ box marked.

To configure a date, click here.

This implementation of disabling the sharing of certain provider notes on patient portal does not impact the ‘confidential information sharing with HIE partners’ functionality.

Users can view provider notes associated with inactive providers.

This ensures that the complete record of a patient’s provider notes is easily accessible.

Mark the checkbox next to an inactive provider and then click ‘Search’. The system displays the provider notes for the selected inactive provider.

Provider notes associated with all the active and inactive providers can be viewed by marking the checkbox next to ‘[Select all]’ from the ‘Provider’ dropdown and clicking the ‘Search’ button.

Note: If a letter is disassociated from the provider note and there are no extra letters to be attached, then the letter icon is removed from the provider notes list page.
