If you haven't already, read Stopwatch: Logging Time Spent on CCM, which covers the basics of tracking your clinical work using Phamily. This article will teach you how to adjust clinical documentation in Phamily.

All activities will show up in the Patient Timeline

Any activity with details will show up in the "Recent Activity" section of the patient chart.

During your regular patient chart reviews, you can go back through the timeline and add details for auto-logged time via the stopwatch.

Detailed daily summaries can be added to capture important details.

To adjust minutes quickly, click on the minutes (in green) and update to the correct amount of time

A large portion of patient care happens outside of Phamily (e.g. medication refills, lab reviews, phone calls). Whenever you step away from Phamily, the stopwatch will continue to run. If you were providing care for the patient while gone, click "Yes, Use" to keep the time. If you stepped away for another reason (e.g. a lunch break) you can choose to keep the time from before you stepped way by clicking "No, Revert".

Sometimes, the stopwatch won't reflect the time you spent providing care. For instance, if the patient called when you didn't have Phamily open. Or, you might have noticed a phone encounter in the EHR that wasn't reflected in Phamily. In these situations, click on the stopwatch button to open up the "details" panel and then click on the "pencil" button to edit the form. There you can log an activity with a custom time and date.

Sometimes when working in Phamily, it helps to open multiple tabs. For example, if you are on hold with a patient's insurance company, you may want to open the inbox to answer other patients in the mean time. To help you keep track of your work, Phamily updates the tab description with the patient's name and stopwatch status

If you have to walk away from Phamily or need the stopwatch to pause for any other reason, you can click on the "pause" button.
