Generate Sign Off Comments Document for an Unlocked Encounter
You can generate and save a Sign Off Comments document for a selected encounter and then print it. You need to select an existing unlocked encounter containing the signed off document, lab result, or image with comments.
In the Communication Component Grid, select the Document menu, and select Sign Off Comments.
The Sign-Off Comments document is generated in a new tab.
The document contains a summary of all the sign off comments logged for the current encounter for the patient. The document header displays the patient name, date of birth, phone number, and encounter date and time stamp. The document footer displays the provider name, document generation date and time stamp, and the name of the person who generated the document. Comments are listed by type (Sign-Off), date and time stamp, comment entered, and the name of the employee who entered the comment.
Note: You may need to generate the document again if new sign off comments are added. If the Sign-off Comments document is not generated after you select Sign Off Comments from the Documents menu, go to NextGen Healthcare Success Community, and see Known Issue KI112567.
Select Save in the NextGen® Enterprise main toolbar to save the document to the encounter.
To print the document, select the Print button in the document tab.
Note: You cannot print the document until after you save it.
