Document Types/Codifications

To satisfy a guideline, link the guideline or test to a scanned document type.

To satisfy a guideline based on the tests that have not been ordered by the practice but performed elsewhere and the results are sent to the practice, you can use the Document Types/Codifications section in the Interventions/Test Equivalents/Descriptions panel on the Care Guidelines Setup template to link guidelines or tests to scanned document types.

You can do the following:
  • Link a guideline or test to one or multiple document types.
  • Update or remove the linked document types.
  • View all the document types that are linked to the selected guideline or test.
  • Add a document type for each group of intervention equivalent tests.

    For example, if a breast MRI meets the criteria for a mammogram, in addition to the mammogram document type, you can also add a document type for breast MRI
