Chart a Visit in PCC EHR

Read the procedure below to learn about each step of a typical visit in PCC EHR.

PCC EHR has several unique tools that help you enter notes on a chart faster. This help article lists those features and includes procedures and links for configuring them.

You can access PCC EHR's online Help system directly, while logged in.

You can open several sibling charts and work on them at the same time, flipping back and forth between them as needed.

Chart notes are made up of different sections, or elements, that a particular visit type needs. The custom chart note is called a protocol. You will see a different protocol for different visit reasons, and providers may have their own, custom protocols.

You can delete a visit created in error in PCC EHR. When you delete a visit, all vitals, chart notes, orders, and other items created for the visit are removed from the patient's record.

You can select Find from the Edit menu to search through a visit chart note, the medical summary, or another protocol-based chart section. You can also use your operating system's keyboard shortcuts (ctrl+F on Windows or Linux, command+F on Macintosh).

PCC EHR automatically checks your spelling as you type.

PCC EHR can help clinicians select a more specific diagnosis description. After they select a diagnosis, they can use a pull-down menu to refine the selection.

If a patient has an appointment today, or a provider has opened a chart note using the Visit History chart section, visit-related buttons for charting appear under the "Visit" headline in the lower- left navigation of the chart.
