Clinical Care Document (CCD)

The Clinical Care Document is a standard that allows health care providers to exchange patient information in a standardized format. The CCD allows providers to share information such as the patient’s problem list, medication list, allergy list, and lab results. This functionality will support the meaningful use requirements of exchanging clinical information, providing clinical summaries to patients, and providing a copy of a patient’s health information to the patient or to another provider.

Patient Reminders

Users can now add reminders to a patient’s chart. For example a reminder to call the patient for a follow up visit can be added. When the reminders report is run, BackChart™ COS provides a list of all the patients who need to be called for a follow up visit.

 

No Meds, Allergies, Problems

A check box has been added to the top of the problem list, medication list, and allergy list. This checkbox allows you to specify that a patient has no problems, medications, or known allergies.
