1.1 Attestation Disclaimer


Promoting Interoperability Program attestation confirms the use of a certified Electronic Health
Record (EHR) to regulatory standards over a specified period of time. Evident and TruBridge
Promoting Interoperability Program certified products, recommended processes and supporting
documentation are based on Evident’s interpretation of the Promoting Interoperability Program
regulations, technical specifications and vendor specifications provided by CMS, ONC and NIST.
Each client is solely responsible for its attestation being a complete and accurate reflection of its
EHR use during the attestation period and that any records needed to defend the attestation in an
audit are maintained. With the exception of vendor documentation that may be required in support of
a client’s attestation, Evident and TruBridge bear no responsibility for attestation information
submitted by the client.

1.2 What's New


This section introduces the new features and improvements for the Documentation application for
release Version 20. A brief summary of each enhancement is given referencing its particular location
if applicable. As new branches of Version 20 are made available, the original enhancements will be
moved to the Previous Work Requests section. The enhancements related to the most current
branch available will be listed under the main What's New section.

Each enhancement includes the Work Request (WR) Number and the description. If further
information is needed, please contact Client Services.

Documentation Web Client -- EVI-104253

DOCUMENTATION: A new behavior control, Web Client Documentation, has been added for
Documentation that will allow users access to the Documentation application within Web Client.

DESCRIPTION: See Security for Documentation 3

2 Documentation Functionality User Guide

Chapter 2 Overview

Thrive’s Documentation application provides a complete ambulatory charting system for


management of patient care in the Emergency Department and Thrive Provider-EHR Software. It
allows multiple users to access, view and document on the same patient record while the Thrive
maintains the integrity of the individual entry without interrupting work flow. The Documentation
application uses both Provation® and Evident documents which, together, provide the most up-to-
date clinical content. It also allows for customized Documentation Reports that may be built to bring
together all pertinent information into one final note.

NOTE: HIPAA regulations require that Psychotherapy Notes be kept separate from the rest of the
medical record and that only the originator of the document have access to them. The Evident EHR
is built to be a collaborative tool and therefore does not have the ability to control access specifically
to Psychotherapy Notes. For this reason, all Psychotherapy Notes should be stored outside the
Evident EHR.

NOTE: Facilities outside of the United States may choose a date format of MMDDYY, DDMMYY or
YYMMDD to be used on all date fields in the Allergies Application. Where four-digit dates display, a
date format of MMDD, DDMM or MMDD, respectively, will be used. Whichever date format is
selected will be reflected in all date fields and column displays throughout the application. An
Evident Representative should be contacted in order for the date format to be changed.

Security for Documentation 3

Chapter 3 Security for Documentation


Evident has developed new security that will create "rules" through what is called the Rule Builder to
define security access to user logins. A rule states what the "behavior" for a user must be in order to
perform a particular function in the system. How the rule is set up in the rule builder determines what
the user's behavior is when accessing a Thrive Patient Care Portal screen. Please see the Identity
Management User Guide for additional setup information.

To access the Behavior controls for Documentation:

Select System Administration > Select Login > Ctrl > Converted Rules > New > Select Condition(s) >
Select Action(s) > Edit The Rule Description > Add

The following Documentation Behavior Controls are:

User is allowed to document: This option allows or denies access to the Entry Mode and
Document Search options on the action bar within Documentation. It also allows access to the
Document and Report folders within the document tree. The default is to allow for the following
roles: Physicians, Nursing Staff, Registered Nurse, Licensed Practical Nurse, Rehab Services and
Cardiopulmonary.

User is allowed to complete documents: This option allows or denies access to the Complete
option on the action bar within Documentation. The default is to allow for the following roles:
Physicians, Nursing Staff, Registered Nurse, and Licensed Practical Nurse.

Amend Clinical Documentation For Any Login: This option allows or denies the user the ability
to amend flow chart or documentation data entered via another user. The default is deny. Options
include Change date and time for all entries in current section or entire document, Amend all
entries for this document, and Remove all entries for this section or document.

NOTE: Currently the Super Amend Functionality does not allow amending Vital Sign documentation
by another user.

Copy Forward Documentation: This options allows or denies the users to copy forward
questions that are flagged in setup to copy forward documentation from visit to visit. The default is
to allow for the following roles: Registered Nurse and Licensed Practical Nurse.

Edit Instructions: This option allows or denies the ability to Create New Instructions, Edit
Instructions and Delete Instructions from the Instruction table. The default is to allow for the
Physician Role.

Save Default Answers for Clin Doc Documents: This option allows or denies the user the ability
to save and apply default answers. The default is to allow for the following roles: Physicians and
System Administrator.

Sign Documentation: This option allows or denies a user the ability to sign documentation and
reports and allows access to Key Maintenance to create or change the user's passphrase. The
default is to allow for the Physician Role.

4 Documentation Functionality User Guide

Skip required questions in documentation: This option allows the user the ability to skip
questions in documentation which are set up as required or warning in order to continue
documenting in additional sections. The user, however, is prompted to address the required or
warning questions prior to completing or signing a document.

Web Client Documentation: This option allows the user to have access to the Documentation
application from within Web Client instead of launching it from Thrive UX.

NOTE: If only the Documentation application is added to a login, without specific behaviors added,
Documentation displays in View Only mode.

Chapter 10 Reports

10.1 Overview
Documentation Reports allow facilities to create custom reports that may be generated based off of
Documentation documents. This chapter will cover generating, completing and signing
Documentation and Multi Visit Reports.

10.2 Generating Reports


To generate Documentation or Multi Visit Report, select New Reports or Current Reports from the
Document Tree.

Reports that have been assigned to the department will be listed under the New Reports folder.
See the Documentation Setup User Guide for Report Category Setup.

Select Report Search to view a complete list of available reports.

The Report List screen will display a maximum of 250 Documentation Reports at one time.

Select the type of report from the Report Type drop down. The following options are available:
All: Pulls up a list of all active reports

Documentation Report: Displays only active documentation reports. Documentation Reports


generate from documentation that was documented during the current visit of a patient's chart.
Applications and sections/question may be set up to pull information into a Documentation report.
See the Documentation Setup User Guide for additional information.

Multi Visit Report: Displays only active multi visit reports. Multi Visit reports generate from
documentation from several visits into one report to follow the care of OB patients, Diabetic
patients, Coumadin patients and etc. Sections, questions and report applications may be pulled
from Documentation into a Multi Visit report. When viewing documentation in the grid view, longer
answers containing more than 15 characters are denoted with trailing periods. Hovering over the
cell opens a tool tip that will display the full answer. See the Documentation Setup User Guide for
additional information.

Double-click the report title to generate the report or select the report, then choose the Select option
from the action bar. A progress bar will display to show the current status of the report generation as
well as the title of the report that is currently being generated.

The Documentation report will be broken down into sections with bold headings, and all
documentation that has been recorded for the specific section will display.

68 Documentation Functionality User Guide

Sections that pull from Documentation documents will display the Section Type as the bold
heading and a sub header will display the document description it was pulled from. For example, a
Review of Systems section from a Fever document will display Review of Systems in bold with
Fever displaying below as a sub header. For documents that are multi-complaint, the Section Type
will display in bold as the header with a sub header for each document description included in the
multi-complaint. The data pulled from that section will display below its corresponding document
title sub header.

If no documentation has been recorded for a section, the text “No Documentation for This
Section” will display. The report will pull documentation based on the date/time filters set within the
Report Settings. For additional information please see Report Document Settings within
Documentation Setup.

Multi Visit Reports will display in a view only grid view with a column for each date documentation
was entered on the different visits that are pulling to the report.

The information that displays within both the Documentation and Multi Visit Reports may also be
filtered through Review Options.

Select Review Options from the action bar to filter the results. See Review Options 63 for more
additional information.

Once all filters have been applied, select Process.

Select View PDF to view the filtered report in PDF format.

PDF View of Report Documentation

Once a Documentation Report or Multi Visit Report has been opened on a patient's account, it will
appear under the Current Reports option in the Document Tree. This will allow the user to quickly
regenerate the report if needed. If the user attempts to open a report that has already been
generated on a patient's account, the following prompt will display: "The selected report already
exists. How would you like to proceed?"

The following options are available for selection:

option will only display one copy of the report in the Documentation Tree.

Exit: Allows the user to move back to the previous screen without generating a new report.

10.3 Completing Multi Visit Reports


Completing a Multi Visit Report will not only complete the report but it will stop the report from pulling
forward to any of the patient's subsequent account stays. Once a Multi Visit Report is completed on
a visit, it will also complete the report on all previous visits from which the report was pulling
information. The Multi Visit Report will move from the Current Reports folder to the Complete folder
and may be reaccessed from this folder.

Select Complete from the action bar.

NOTE: Multi Visit reports may be completed and signed together see Signing Documentation 76 .

If the report needs to be regenerated after it has been completed, select amend to move the
report back to the Current Reports folder.

10.4 Completing Documentation Reports


Completing a documentation report will allow a new version of the report to be created.

Select Complete from the action bar.

When the documentation report is completed, it will move to the Completed Folder and may be
reaccessed from this folder. If the documentation report needs to be regenerated, a new report
must be opened from the New Reports Folder.

NOTE: Documentation reports may be completed and signed together see Signing Documentation
76 .

To print the completed report, select Print Document.

Documentation or By Dept when entering a three-digit department number. When documentation
reports are filtered by department, only information documented while the patient was located
within the selected department will display. The By Dept field uses the Patient Location Summary
log to determine the time frame that the patient was within the selected department.

Select the Include Stricken check-box to include any amended data.

Exclude Credentials Date/Time allows for information to display without any user credentials and
corresponding date/time stamps. The check box default is unchecked. If the document or report is
already set to exclude credentials date/time from within the document settings or report settings,
this check box will display as checked. It may be unchecked to display the report or document with
the user's credentials date/time stamp.

Sort By parameters may be used to sort the documentation.

10.6 Retracting a Report


The ability to retract a report, that has been opened on an incorrect patient or opened in error, may
be accomplished using the Retract option. The Retract option is available to all users if the report
has not yet been signed or completed. Once the report has been completed and/or signed, the
Retract option will be available only to the user who signed/completed the report. It is also available
for users with the Clinical Documentation Behavior Control "Amend Clinical Documentation for any
Login."

Select Retract. The Retract Reasons table will display to allow the user to select the reason for

Chapter 11 Signing Documentation

11.1 Signing Documents and Reports


Providers have the ability to sign documentation or documentation reports completed during a
provider's shift. Signing a document or documentation report will apply the provider's full name and
credentials along with the date/time of the signature to the bottom of document or report.

NOTE: Non-providers have the ability to sign documentation and reports with the appropriate
signature capability behavior control in place through Identity Management.

Providers will only need to sign their documents or documentation reports once all documentation
has been completed. If the report that is being signed is set up as a Progress Note, signing the
report will count towards the MU2 Electronic Notes statistic. Please see Documentation Setup for
additional information on the report setup.

Any documents or documentation reports that are signed by a provider requiring a cosignature will go
to the Home Screen folder for the selected cosigner group or individual.

For any documentation that has been amended, the provider will need to resign the document or
report. In the case the provider requires a cosigner, the amended documentation would be sent to the
cosigner again.

To sign a document or documentation report, select Sign from the action bar.

If multiple documents or reports are opened on a patient's chart, the Multiple Document Signing
Selection screen will display. The original documented that was selected for signing will display as

Cosigning Documents and Reports

Mid-level providers may require cosignatures on all or some of their documentation. Documentation
which requires cosignature will go to the selected cosigner's Home Screen folder.

If the mid-level provider has documentation which does not require a cosignature, the mid-level
provider may be set to select No Cosignature Needed during the signature process for those
documents. When the No Signature Needed check box is selected, the Select Cosigner option and
available cosigners will not be available.

screen will be displayed for the user upon returning to the passphrase prompt. Once signed, the
report will be sent to the selected co-signer(s) Home Screen folder.
If multiple individual physicians are selected, then a signature from one cosigner will not remove
this document from the queue of the other selected cosigner(s). If a group is selected, then a
signature from one cosigner would remove the need for any other selected cosigner(s) in that
group to sign.

Select Accept to sign the document or report.

Once the signature has been accepted in the top right hand corner, Signed will display along with the
date/time stamp the document or report that was signed. The signed document will contain the
