We’ve enhanced Chart Notes to provide a more integrated and flexible documentation experience within the patient chart. Chart Notes can now be created, managed, and viewed directly from the Chart Tree and Chart Data Widget, allowing users to organize non-clinical documentation alongside other chart items while maintaining consistent workflows for permissions, auditing, filtering, and record management. In addition to traditional General chart notes, administrators can now configure specialized note types for Growth Charts, Problem Lists, Flowsheets, and Healthwatcher, giving users dedicated documentation areas directly within those workflows.

This enhancement also introduces improved note management capabilities, including support for saving, editing, signing, and deleting Chart Notes based on user permissions. Once a note is signed, it becomes a permanent part of the patient record and can no longer be modified or removed. Administrators can create and manage multiple Chart Note types, control visibility within the Chart Tree, and configure access by role. Together, these updates provide a more streamlined, organized, and reliable approach to chart documentation while maintaining appropriate controls and audit visibility.
