How to Allow Users to Add Text to an Existing Note without Changing the Original Text
Summary:
If your office is using Authorization Manager you can assign/unassign the Append Patient Notes privilege to users which allows them to add text to an existing note, but NOT change the existing note text.
To Assign the Append Patient Notes Privilege:
1. Open Authorization Manager.
2. In the Privileges list, expand Patient Notes.
3. Check the Append Patient Notes box.
4. Exit Authorization Manager
5. Open the patient's Notes tab and double-click on a note you want to edit.
6. Click the Notes tab.
7. Click the Append button.
8. Type the new text you want to append to the existing note and click OK.
The appended text appears below the original note on a separate line along with the date and time it was added and by whom.
