Does anyone know if it is possible to sign an observation using MEL before the visit itself is signed? We are trying to send Clinical Visit Summaries through our Patient Portal using a form. Our portal sends documents based on a particular observation term being filled out, and apparently signed. I use a button to push all the required information to this observation, but can't figure out a way to get the CVS sent through the portal until the document, and in turn the observation, are signed...
It makes it difficult to display to our users whether or not they are compliant with the CVS measure for the visit. It's not the end of the world, but it would be nice to be able to send the CVS immediately even if the document itself hasn't been signed yet.
Thanks,
Ryan
I doubt you can. With that said, if you try and push a CVS to their portal prior to the visit being done, unless you have the form coded for OBSNOW, then it's going to pull all data from the previous visit because those would need to be signed too.
