EPC Explained

EPC Explained

The Extended Care page in a patient's clinical record displays a summary of the EPC (Enhanced Primary Care) activities recorded for that patient. Within the summary you can see the assessment date, category, name, provider, and the duration of the assessment. This tutorial will provide a brief overview of this section and its functions.

To access the extended care page, Open the Patient Record and click on the Clinical tab.



Click on the Extended Care section.



You will now be brought to the Extended Care screen.



Checking the box next to an entry will reveal options as shown. There is also a Search field and the Filter on the right.

Search

You are able to search for templates by Name, Category, Provider, and Comment, using free text.

In this example, we will search "Diabetes". Enter the term and click the search icon. Alternatively, you can press Enter or Return on your keyboard.



This will display all results which match the search term.



Filter
