Smart Plan

Smart Plan Quick Lists

The Smart Plan is an optional section that is displayed at the top of the Visit Encounter. The Smart Plan is similar to the Assessment, however, it is located at the top of the encounter and it is intended to be a combination of both the Assessment and Plan sections. This section is ideal for providers who prefer to drive the encounter based on patient conditions.

Providers will use the Smart Plan Quick List (right side of the blue vertical bar) to populate the Smart Plan Assessment with conditions and orders for today’s visit (left side of the blue vertical bar). Providers can leverage a combination of features, such as pre-configured libraries, pre-populated data based on existing data in the patient chart and/or database, organize conditions, as well as quickly order and perform tests, add procedures, and manage medications from the Smart Plan.

  1. Set Library for entire encounter
  2. Hide/Show Quick Links

For users on RC202309 and newer, a new feature to copy from Previous Exam has been added to the Smart Plan encounter section toolbar. For more information on this feature see Copy From Previous Exam online help documentation.
