The Progress Notes panel centralizes documentation and exam information in one location, making it easy to quickly review a patient’s history. The progress notes appear in chronological order below the Graphic Chart.
By default, progress notes are sorted chronologically. You can change the sort order by clicking a column title. For example, to sort a patient's progress notes according to status, click Status. To return the list to its default sort order, click the Default Sort button on the Progress Notes toolbar.
You can display, hide, reposition, and dock the Progress Notes panel to suit your preferences. Or, to review a patient’s entire treatment history, you can view the Progress Notes panel in full screen.
