Completely omitting data can have adverse effects as well. If you are going to completely hide encounters, be sure that they cannot contain information that would alter care; otherwise, providers may make incorrect assumptions and potentially harm the patient. An alternative is to let the provider know that you are concealing information (without displaying the form name), so the provider is at least aware that they are working with partial information.
If providers aren't directly using the system, then it's less of a concern. Any patient summaries or other tools used by providers that go directly to observations will bypass these filters. -Burke On Saturday, May 19, 2012, Jonathan Galingan wrote: > I think it should not appear at all.
