About Encounter Types

According to GE: “An encounter type is a collection of items that make it easy to start a chart update. When you select an encounter type, you automatically select an appropriate document type, encounter forms, and/or note templates for a particular type of patient encounter such an a comprehensive office visit. You can also set up a default summary for an Encounter Type.”

Please note that if an encounter type is not selected during a chart update, the default Office Visit document type will be used—this default document type is blank.

When you create a Phone Note or Rx Refill using their respective buttons, you are creating an encounter type of the Phone Note type and Rx Refill type respectively.

Workflow for Pediatric Specialties/Resident Clinic � Tip of the Week

PLEASE NOTE THIS ONLY APPLIES FOR SUBSPECIALTY CLINICS WITH ROTATING RESIDENTS NOT FOR RESIDENT CONTINUITY CLINIC.

The attending will be the official signing provider.
  • The resident will join the update while in the room to start the note and update the medications and problems.

  • The resident will then place document on hold and route it to the attending.

  • The resident and attending will then review/discuss the case and document together. Orders can either be placed at this time or by the resident under faculty supervision. The attending will then route the document back to resident.

  • At this point the resident should be done with their portion of the note. The resident will then open the document and place the quick text “.sign” at the bottom of the note. The resident will then place the document on hold one last time and send it back to the attending.
