Use the Communication Component

The Communication component enables you to document calls or communications that can then be placed on a template. This provides a more functional space to maintain and update data, rather than static form fields of telephone call templates. This component functions as a data-driven workflow to document call types that provide a resource for users to document as well as take any necessary follow-up actions produced by the call. The component is made up of the Communication Component Grid and Action Panel. The Communication component enables a streamlined approach to documenting calls for the following categories: Billing Questions Charges Forms/Record Requests Medical Questions Medication Management Referral Request Test Results Request Other Note: For NextGen® Enterprise, 5.8 UD2 and above, the Communication component must be configured in Template Editor to place on a template.
