Clinical notes provide you with a method of entering notes for an exam that are not specific to a procedure. Once you sign a clinical note or move it to history, you cannot edit or delete it. However, you may append an addendum to a clinical note in history.
To add an addendum to a clinical note
1. In the Perio Chart, click View, and then click Clinical Notes Panel.
The Clinical Notes panel appears.
2. Select the clinical note that you want to add an addendum to.
3. Click the New Addendum toolbar button.
The New Addendum dialog box appears.
4. Type the note that you want to append.
5. Select the provider that you want to attach to the addendum from the list.
6. To append the note, click OK, and then click Yes.
