You can easily include patient completed Qnaires as part of an encounter note. Adding a Qnaire to an encounter note ensures that the information provided in the Qnaire is associated with that specific visit. You can also easily click the Qnaire to view the patient's responses from within the encounter.
If the Qnaire is configured with Natural Language, the text pulls into the encounter note, allowing you to pre-populate your encounter note with patient reported information.
📌 Notes:
You can associate Qnaires with an appointment type or presenting issue. As well you can configure pre-visit Qnaires. These Qnaires are automatically attached to the associated encounter note.
You can configure any Qnaires completed today to automatically be attached to your encounter note. This is helpful if you have patients complete Qnaires in the waiting room. For more information, refer to Customizing your encounter settings.
