Document an ASC Procedure

  1. In the Documentation panel, click Add.
    The ASC Procedure Documentation template opens.
    ASC Procedure

    The Procedure field displays the procedure entered in the Procedure panel. If more than one procedure is entered in the Procedure panel, then the Procedure field displays the first procedure documented in the current encounter.

    The Procedure field includes left and right arrows. The left blue arrow is used to navigate to the previous procedure and the right blue arrow is used to navigate to the next procedure. If the current encounter includes only one procedure, then the arrows are not available.

    By default, the system selects the Procedure documentation option and displays the associated sections in the left pane.

  2. Select a section in the left pane.
    The corresponding list of values appears in the grid, and the navigational tab appears above the left pane.

    The sections in the left pane and the associated values in the grid are configured on the Procedure Documentation Config practice template. For information on the configuration of the sections and descriptions for procedure documentation, go to NextGen Healthcare Success Community, and download the latest Procedure Documentation Config Practice Template User Guide forNextGen®Adaptive Content Engine.

  3. Select a value from the list on the right grid.
    If a value in the grid is mutually exclusive, then the subsequent section in the left pane is auto-selected if configured in the Procedure Documentation Config practice template. If the right grid values provide multiple selections, then you must manually select the subsequent section in the left pane.

    If the values are not appropriate for selection in the grid:

    1. Click custom value, if available in the list.
      The custom value template opens.
      custom value

    2. Enter the appropriate value in the field and click OK.
      The entered value appears in the grid replacing the Custom value verbiage.

      The selected value is concatenated in the field below the View label.

      When a value is selected from the grid, an asterisk (*) appears to the left of the selected value in the grid and in the left pane. If the same value is selected again, then the asterisk (*) disappears and the value is cleared from the field below the View label.

      The field below the View label displays the concatenated view of the selected values in a Paragraph format. The field is editable when you select the Default paragraph to editable check box on the Procedure Documentation Config practice template.

    3. If you want to view the data in a tabular format, click the Grid option.
