Updated: March 19, 2026
Required for Every Visit
At the end of every visit, ensure you:
- Complete all required documentation
- Select the appropriate Disposition
- Confirm diagnosis and care plan
- Finalize the chart
Unfinalized notes may prevent the system from accurately recording the visit outcome.
Documentation Requirements
All appointment notes must:
- Be finalized after each visit
- Include a completed Disposition
Disposition
The Disposition field captures the patient’s outcome and next steps. Examples:
- Referred to the Emergency Department
- Follow-up required
- Managed virtually / no escalation needed
Why This Matters
Complete documentation supports:
- Patient safety and follow-up
- Referral workflows and continuity of care
- Accurate and compliant medical records
