Clinical Instructions

New UI Visit Encounter (valid RC202109+)

Original Visit Encounter

Ensure all sexually active women aged 16-24 are screened for chlamydia at least once within the measurement period. Use either the Test and Procedures section of the encounter, or enter the appropriate observation to the chart using the Observations chart tab.

Tip
Regardless of how the chlamydia screening observation is added to the chart, clients will need to ensure the appropriate observation is configured with the required LOINC. Clients should search the Observation Codes editor for the chlamydia observations to determine if multiple observations need to be merged.
  1. While documenting the Visit encounter, document the results of a chlamydia screening one of two ways:
  2. Option 1: Tests and Procedures Section
    1. Open the Tests and Procedures section.
    2. Using the autocomplete, begin typing Chlamydia, and select the appropriate screening.
    3. Click the Add to Exam button.
    4. After adding the new section, open the screening section and enter the results.
    5. Click the Next button, or close the section.
  3. Option 2: Add Observation using Observations Chart Tab
    1. Navigate to the patient chart.
    2. Open the Observations tab of the Medical Records chart tab.
    3. Click the Add Observation link in the upper-right corner.
    4. Begin typing the name of the observation and select the appropriate one.
    5. Enter the Date the screening was performed, its Result, and any relevant Comments.
    6. Click the Submit button.
  4. Continue documenting the encounter, as needed.
  5. When completed, Close and Archive the encounter
