If you document information by using a screening tool that is not configured to open as a website or template, you can enter the results in NextGen® Therapy Suite.
- On paper or by some other means, record the results of the screening performed.
- Open the NTS Screening Tool template.
- In the Screening Tools Available list, select a screening tool that has no indicator (blank) in the first column. Screening tool names that have no entry in the first column do not open a template or a website.
Note: An asterisk (*) denotes a screening tool that has already been used in the current encounter.
The Screening Instrument field and the *Performed Date field automatically display the screening tool name and the encounter date.
- Manually enter the score, severity or interpretation, and any comments or screening plan.
- Select Add.
The documented data appears in the Screening Tools Performed grid.
- Select Save & Close.
The NTS Screening Tool template closes. The new screening results save to the Screening grid in the Plan panel of the Single Visit template.
