Reason for Visit Panel on the ASC - Physician Procedure Template

The Reason for Visit panel on the ASC - Physician Procedure template allows the provider to document the chief complaints of the patient.
Reason for Visit

The procedure details documented in the Procedure panel appear in the Reason for Visit panel.

In the Reason for Visit panel, if you select the Do not launch HPI checkbox and then select a reason, the system displays the selected reason in the grid without opening the HPI template.

If the required reason(s) is not available in the left pane of the Reason for Visit panel, then you can select the Additional/Manage link to select the appropriate reason from the Reason for Visit template. For instructions to add additional HPI, see Additional/Manage HPIs.

You can also use the Other field on the left pane to search and select a reason for visit. You can enter the first few letters of the chief complaint in the Other field and select the drop-down arrow. A list opens with the specialty-specific reasons for visit beginning with the letter(s) entered in the Other field. After you select a chief complaint from the list, the corresponding HPI template displays.
