Creating Patient Encounter in EMRian
There are two ways you can create EMRian New Encounter.
1) When you have scheduled appointment with your patients, before they are released, you will see them all on your home page:
Under column “Action” you see options: “Accept” and “Edit”. “Accept” means that this patient does not have open encounter, and by clicking on “Accept” a new encounter will be opened for this patient. “Edit” means the patient has open encounter, and you can edit it.
Clicking on “Accept”, you open encounter for the patient, see below:
2) Second way to open New Encounter is by clicking “Open Encounter” link from the patients’ list in “Patients” module.
Once the new encounter is opened, you can start adding patient’s illness history to be attached to that encounter. There are 2 features now at EMRian to enter patient’s clinical hostory: Notes and Attachments.
For creating Note, you need to click on “Add Note” on the Encounter page.
Note has a Title and Discription. You can add free text in the Title and Description fields and save it by clincking on “Submit”. When the Note is saved, it can be edited, viewed and deleted. Last edit date is saved for your reference. You can have unlimited number of Notes attached to one encounter.
To attach documents, you need to click on the “Attachment” tab. You will see “Attach new” button. When you click on that button, you will have the following window:
You”Browse” for a file you need to attach and then click on “Submit”. The document will be attached to the patient encounter for future reference.
NOTE: Attachment feature available for a month during beta testing period. After that attachments will be allowed for EMRian Solo, Small, Medium and Large Group Packages only.
