Assuming Authorship and Adding an Attestation

So today I thought I was going to appear the prophet to a new hardcore PowerNote user when, lo and behold, the authorship process whereby one clinician starts and another assumes the note for their own completely changed. Not to get too deep into the weeds, it had been the case that, if a note, e.g. Physician Discharge Summary, was started early in the hospital course, that, in order for the authorship to be updated and displayed properly in the Clinical Notes folder, the new author would be wise to copy to new note and the earlier author would delete the old note. In trying to teach this to a colleague today, we found that, if the saved (Active) note is opened from the Documentation--> Existing tab, a dialogue box offers Read Only or Edit. I don't know when it happened, but by simply clicking Edit, the authorship is transferred and all is well and good.

So for the hospitalists that I've presented to over the last couple of days, I blew it and hope not to have bungled your workflow.

I redeemed myself by demonstrating how to Modify a note when an attestation statement is needed. For example, if you provide supervision for a resident, or an NP or PA, for that matter, a signed note can be modified with an attestation statement easily dropped in as an addendum.

Check out the slide sets and let me know if I've mislead you elsewhere!
