There should be a way to be able to view the Progress Notes in a time line format. Separating the Progress notes in VS, Meds, Nurses Notes, Care Plan, etc into different sections makes it very difficult to do chart reviews and figure out what happened with at patient at certain times. You can keep the current view, but it would be helpful to have a secondary way to view as well. I have had to help other users figure out what has gone on with a patient many times because they don't know to look for different documentation in different areas. It is a lot of clicking around and very time consuming.
There are three versions of Patient Progress Notes. The option is facility-wide and set in the Point of Care Maintenance Table. You can select from:
A: Information is documented chronologically and prints vertically on the patient progress notes.
B: Information is grouped chronologically in categories and the information may be prioritized and combined. Documented information prints vertically.
C: Information is grouped chronologically in categories and the information may be prioritized and combined. Documented information prints horizontally and in two columns.
The POC Reports User Guide has examples in Chapter 36.
