Kevin
I followed the steps you have given, that leads to
another question. When we click on the new note
button, it presumes that its a progress report and
hence you can only type in certain types of notes
(ADDICTION <ASI-ADDICTION SEVERITY INDEX>, ADVANCE
DIRECTIVE, ASSESSMENT <WRIISC ASSESSMENT NOTE>...).
But the operation report ??? Does this mean that only
these progress reports can be transcribed from CPRS?
Or are there some other settings to get the operation
report up?
Also the message "YOU MAY NOT VIEW THIS UNSIGNED
NOTE." is what i get to see as of now from the tiu
menu (signed in as the transcriptionist and the
author). The problem is that the author of the report
is also not allowed to view it! I guess I'm missing
out on something!
Thanks
Nick.
