Correcting Entries in Progress Notes

You can use the Correct entry button to remove an entry, or change the chart date or Producer, if an incorrect entry was made.

To correct an entry:

1. Select the incorrect entry and click Correct entry. The Correct Chart Entry window is displayed.

2. Select the type of correction you want to make, and enter the appropriate information.

3. Click Make correction. New entries appear as normal entries, but the original, incorrect entries are displayed in red. The original entries in red appear only if the Show corrections option is selected.

4. Corrected entries made on the same day as the original entry are deleted from the system and cannot be tracked.

Some entries cannot be edited with Correct entry. When you select Correct Entry for the following areas, PracticeWorks displays a message telling you where to make the correction.

• Entries from Ledger These entries have been imported to the chart from the patient ledger.

• Entries from Treatment Plan Entries in treatment plans must be edited on the Treatment Plan tab.
