View the Contents of a Clinical Note in Custom View
Clinical notes store narrative text explaining various aspects of patient care. The CDA Viewer displays some types of clinical notes as sections. In addition, any section in a C-CDA document can include a clinical note that applies to the whole section or to individual rows in the section.
- To view a clinical notes section, select one of the following section bars in the left pane:
- Consultation Note
- Discharge Summary Note
- History and Physical Note
- Progress Note
The right pane scrolls until the selected section appears. - To view clinical notes for a section, select the
icon in the section heading.
The <Clinical Notes Type> - Clinical Notes window opens. If there is more than one clinical note for the section, select a note from the list. The complete text of the clinical note appears below. - To view clinical notes for a single row, select the note
icon in the Note column.
The <Clinical Notes Type> - Clinical Notes window opens. It looks the same as it does when opened from the section heading, except that it contains clinical notes for the current row rather than for the section as a whole.
