Work/School Notes

Please ensure ALL work notes get entered in Cerner under Patient Education. It would be even better for you to document in your note if you provided a work/school note, with what restrictions, and for how long. We have run into a few situations where a patient claims they “lost” their work note and “the doctor said I could be off for a week”. Additionally, we have had a couple of situations where the employer needed documentation as well. If you are having the nurse enter the work/school note, then make sure to let them know they need to enter it in the patient’s chart under Patient Education. Anyone can find and use the work/school notes I made by searching for "Poage” in Patient Education.
