Clinical - Extended Care
In this article you will learn how to manage a patient's Extended Primary Care (EPC) activities, add new assessments and reviews, and edit, delete, change the status and print existing assessments and reviews.
The Extended Care page in a patient's clinical record displays a summary of the EPC activities recorded for that patient. From within the summary, you can easily see the assessment date, category, name, provider and the duration of the assessment.
To quickly filter the EPC activities in the summary, click Filter to reveal a drop-down list and then choose the Status or Extended Care category, a combination of both options.
To search for an EPC activity, click the Search box and type in a Keyword in the Name of the EPC activity you are searching for. Press Enter and the system will display a list of the closest matches.
You can also search for keywords in the Date, Category and Provider.
To Add a New EPC, click New EPC to reveal a drop-down list of Health Assessments and Reviews.
