Pre-staging PT/OT Treatment in the Rapid Flowsheet Template

In the Rapid Flowsheet Worklog and Rapid Flowsheet templates, you can quickly document physical or occupational therapy treatment for a patient including exercise details, average pain, and SOAP (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan) comments. You can use the templates to do the following: View and filter patient appointments for today or the next clinical day. If your system is configured for pre-staging, save time by entering visit data before the patient comes into the clinic for a booked appointment scheduled for today or the next clinical day. Pre-staged data is stored until the patient is checked in. If the patient misses the appointment and does not reschedule, the system automatically deletes the pre-staged data at the end of the day. However, a rescheduled appointment retains its pre-staged data if both of the following conditions are met: Rescheduling occurs within 24 hours of the original appointment date.
