Revise and Regenerate the Document

If you need to revise the document that you sent for signoff, the best practice is to regenerate the document from the patient chart using the applicable template to change the data. If you edit the current document directly by entering free text, your changes are overwritten when another user regenerates the document. Regenerating the document reverts it to a single-user signoff document, and it is returned to the Provider Approval Queue (PAQ) Pending tab of the originating encounter provider. To initiate multi-user signoff for the regenerated document, follow the steps in Initiate Multi-user Signoff on a Pending PAQ Document. Parent topic: Reviewing a PAQ Document Rejected by a Signee
