Editing Signed Notes

There are instances where modifications to a signed note becomes necessary. SigmaMD recognizes the need for flexibility in these situations, ensuring that your patient documentation remains accurate and up-to-date. Below is a straightforward guide on how to efficiently edit your signed notes:

1. Transitioning to Edit Mode

• Upon signing, the note will default to 'view mode'. This mode is primarily for reading and won't allow immediate edits.
• To make changes, navigate to the bottom right of the note and click on the Edit note button. This will transition the note back to an editable state.

2. Note Editing and Saving

• It's essential to note that once in editing mode, the auto-save feature will be disabled for this note.
• Make the necessary changes to the note's content as required.
• After editing, two primary actions can be taken:
  • To save the edited content and re-sign the note, click on the Save and sign note button.
  • If you decide not to retain the modifications, click the Cancel button to revert to the previously saved version.

3. Post-Editing Visualization

• Upon saving the edited note, an update will appear in the note's header. This update will indicate the latest modification details in the following format: Last edited by [editor's name] on [date] at [time]. For instance: Last edited by Dr. Jane Smith on 10/16/2023 at 11:47 PM.

4. Reviewing Edit History

• For the sake of transparency and comprehensive record-keeping, SigmaMD maintains a detailed version history of each note.
• To access the note's edit history, click on the Show version history option. This will display a chronological record of all the edits made to the note, ensuring that you can trace back any modifications if needed.

SigmaMD's flexibility in note management ensures that your patient records remain accurate, up-to-date, and transparent. The ability to edit and track changes reflects our commitment to delivering the highest standards of clinical documentation.
