Patient Medical Record Notes
A note is a place for anyone in the medical office to lock down permanent detailed "notes" within the patient’s medical records. As a patient gets treated in the medical office over time the doctor builds on the original medical record. As a patient’s treatment symptoms and improvements occur this medical information is also built up within the medical records.
Some departments do not always have access to the paper medical records so this is a place where the medical office can add notes about what is working or not working for the patient along with any communications made to the patient.

For example the medical front office might detail notes about a payment plan. The doctor can make notes about treatment plans, allergies, medication types while the billing service can add notes about contacts made with the health insurance carrier or directly with the patient.
Anyone that has permission to view the patient demographics and can read all notes stored in the patients Note Tab.

Medical Notes within a patients chart files is very important in the medical industry. Although this screen can be used for many purposes the locking down after 24 hours allows everyone to read unedited notes.
