We are looking at moving discharge instructions for patients into notes, that would also pull in their medication sheet and have a place for patient and nurse signatures. Our providers would like this option to be able to see what instructions are being sent home and edit them, where as now this is done in flowcharts and eforms, neither of which the provider can edit.
A signature box on the notes application would be great, printing out instructions for patients to sign manually, then scan them back into the system is a waste of paper and time. The web version allows providers access to e-forms, they can edit and sign them if indicated along with the patient and nurses.
