Requirements: CP.3.3 Manage Clinical Documents and Notes (Function)

Active as of 2024-08-12
Statement N:

Create, addend, amend, correct, authenticate, maintain, present and close, as needed, transcribed or directly-entered clinical documentation and notes.

 Description I:

Clinical documents and notes may be unstructured and created in a narrative form, which may be based on a template, graphic, audio, etc. The documents may also be structured documents that result from the capture of coded data. Each of these forms of clinical documentation is important and appropriate for different users and situations. To facilitate the management and documentation on how providers are responding to incoming data on orders and results, there may also be some free text or formal record on the providers' responsibility, and/or standard choices for disposition, such as Reviewed and Filed, Recall Patient, or Future Follow Up. The system may also provide support for documenting the clinician's differential diagnosis process.

CP.3.3#02 SHOULD

The system SHOULD present documentation templates (structured or free text) to facilitate creating documentation.
CP.3.3#03 SHOULD

The system SHOULD provide the ability to present existing documentation within the patient's EHR while creating new documentation.

CP.3.3#20 conditional SHALL

IF the system provides the ability to save partially completed clinical documentation, THEN the system SHALL render this documentation only to the authorized users (e.g., author or author's supervisors).
CP.3.3#21 conditional SHOULD

IF the system provides the ability to save partially completed clinical documentation, THEN the system SHOULD provide the ability to tag unsigned documentation.
CP.3.3#22 conditional SHOULD
