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!
