Good morning listers,
Has anyone found a workable way to document needle placement for acupuncture? We are considering a form with dropdown sections for body regions because we do not want to risk having someone save an illustration attachment to their own device instead of the record.
My content person from clinic said there is also a shorthand version of documentation that involves a square divided into two rectangles vertically which might be doable, but I am still not sure how to pull it off. We also do not want to scan the image of the current illustration they use because turnaround time with our scanning staff may not be timely enough to have the report in the chart for the patient's next visit. Some patients come back several times a week for treatment.
If you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear from you!
