Procedure Group Note

A group note is a single clinical note made for multiple Procedures in the Chart module.  All procedures must be Set Complete, have the same date, and have the same Provider.

In the Progress Notes, press Ctrl and highlight multiple procedures.  Right click and select Group Note.

The group note is stored in the database as a procedure.  You can set default group notes by editing the Procedure Code ~GRP~.  The ability to edit or delete group notes is controlled by the security Permission ProcComplEdit.  Group note text color in the progress notes can be customized in Definitions under Prog Notes Colors, Status Existing Current Prov.

Auto Note:  Select and complete an Auto Note.
