Barriers To Care Panel on the ASC - Pre admission Template

The Barriers to Care panel allows you to record and track patient circumstances that may negatively impact the patient’s ability to comply with the requirements of the care plan. Examples of barriers to care include such things as a lack of reliable transportation, difficulty communicating, other medical conditions that inhibit movement or understanding, family issues that make care difficult, and so on.

The Barriers to Care panel is shared with other templates and specialties. This information carries forward to care management or family practice templates.

The clinical support staff can review the documented data and make the applicable changes. If the case ID of the encounters is the same, then the details documented in this panel on the ASC - Pre admission template carry forward to Barriers To Care panel on the ASC templates of the next subsequent encounters with the same case ID.
