The Patient Discharge Instructions panel enables you to select the discharge instructions for the procedure. The discharge instructions are pre-configured for the procedures on the Procedure Orders and Discharge Instructions practice template. You can also add any new discharge instructions in this panel.

Patient Discharge Instructions

The Procedure field displays the procedure selected in the Procedure panel on the ASC - Intake template. If the current encounter includes only one procedure, then the Procedure field defaults to that procedure. If an encounter includes more than one procedure, then the first procedure documented in the encounter displays in the Procedure field.

The Procedure field includes left and right arrows to navigate to the previous and the next procedure respectively. If the current encounter includes only one procedure, the arrows will be unavailable to select.
