Subject: [MEDITECH-L] EDM Depart/Discharge Instructions Question

Happy Friday,

If no complaint specific instructions are selected, then no pages print
when the discharge packet is 'printed', including the signature page
which we need for all patients being discharged home. We have built
generic 'discharge instructions' and placed this on all chief complaints
in order to have the patient signature page always print in the
discharge packet. 

The problem is, if the patient leaves without being seen or is admitted,
then this generic 'discharge instructions' is sent to our electronic
record, making it appear that the patient received instructions even if
they left without being seen! 

Has anyone else encountered this or found a solution for this??

Thanks for any help.
