Frequently Asked Questions
What are the full note requirements to generate a Care Summary?
Must have at least one provider note.
Notes must be from the last 24 hours.
Must have either:
At least 2 notes from enabled sections (Assessment, AssessmentAndPlan, Diet, FollowUp, Goals, LabsOrOrders, Plan, Subjective), OR
Up to 2 complete provider notes if there is insufficient section coverage.
What is the full list of requirements that must be met to currently generate a Care Summary?
We trigger Care Summary generation at 9am local facility time every day.
If this full list of criteria is not met, we continue to check for new relevant provider notes every hour, if at any point this criteria is met, we generate a new Care Summary for the patient.
After 10 hours (7pm facility time), if we still have not received sufficient provider notes, we stop trying to generate a Care Summary for that day. We then try again at 9am the following day, repeating the same process listed above.
