Edit a Miscellaneous Note

Use the following steps to edit a miscellaneous note.

1. Open the patient's chart note.
    

2. Click the (MISC) button in the chart note.
    

3. In the Miscellaneous Note dialog, highlight the note you want to edit, and then click the Edit button.
   
   
   
    

4. In the Miscellaneous Note dialog, edit the Note as needed. There is a 255 character limit for miscellaneous notes.
    

5. When finished, click the OK button.
   
   
   
    

6. The updated note will appear in the Miscellaneous Note dialog list. You have the ability to determine whether or not to display a miscellaneous note in the opened chart note by checking the Display In Note box next to the corresponding note. You can also determine whether or not to display miscellaneous note in the patient's face sheet by checking the Display On Facesheet box next to the corresponding note.
   
   When viewing notes in the Miscellaneous Note dialog, you can check the Display Facesheet Items Only option to display only those notes that are checked with the Display On Facesheet option. If the Display Facesheet Items Only option is not checked, all active notes will be displayed.
   
   You can also Select All notes, or Unselect All notes as needed using the applicable button below. Likewise, you can also Add or Delete a selected note.
   
   NOTE: You also have the ability to edit a note by clicking into the applicable note cell in the Miscellaneous Note dialog, and then editing the note as needed.
    

7. When finished, click the Close button. The updated note will now appear in the chart note (if selected, along with any other notes selected to be displayed), and the face sheet will be updated with the changes (if selected). All edits will also be tracked in the History tab.
