Option to Save Note in DRAFT MODE

To save a Session Note in Draft Mode:

Select Save Draft

 

 

  • A session note saved in Draft Mode will not count towards your company billable appointment requirements. You must select “Submit” note for it to be counted towards the billable requirement.

  • Only session notes that are submitted will be saved in the Client filing cabinet.

  • The auto-save feature will save a staff’s note as a draft note after 5 minutes regardless of activity or inactivity

Last Saved Display:

The original submission date and time will remain as the timestamp of the completed session note displayed at the bottom of the session note

  • Each time the note is saved, the timestamp on the top left-hand side of the session note will update.

  • The original submission date will continue to be reported on the bottom of the session note display, although the last saved date/time may be different

 

Submit Note

To submit your final note

Select Submit Note

 

  • The action Submit Note is the final saving action of your note. Once a note is submitted, the session note requirement will be met and will be saved in the client file cabinet in their Session Notes folder.

  • Once a note has been submitted, if the note needs to be edited - Submit Note will be the only save option

Edit Note

To edit a session note:

Select EDIT NOTE

Then make any applicable changes

When ready, select Submit Note

 

  • When a session note has been edited, the Last Saved timestamp will now update based on the last date & time the session note was saved

  • If Edit Note is selected auto-save will initiate after 5 minutes regardless of activity or inactivity

 

 

Mark As Reviewed

To Mark a note Reviewed

Select Mark as Reviewed

 

  • The Mark as Reviewed button will appear once a session note has been submitted

Delete Note

To delete an entire session note

Select Delete Note then select Continue

 

  • Once a note is deleted - the note will be deleted at the appointment level only.

  • If the session note was previously submitted and saved to the client filing cabinet, you will also need to delete that version.

  • If you do not have permission to delete a session note, please contact your System Admin to confirm your permissions. The permission required to delete a session note is:

    • Funder Reports > Delete
