Documents

The Documents web part displays clinical documentation that has been released to you by your care provider. The documentation can include discharge instructions and other patient education documents that provide advice for your home health care.

You can access Continuity of Care documents (CCD) from the Documents web part. A CCD is a type of document designed to enable the exchange of key clinical information among care providers to improve patient care. CCDs pull information from your medical record and structures it in a standardized way so it can be exchanged between health care systems and care providers. By having access to your latest CCD documents, you can easily provide any care provider with your most recent health information on file. Information included in a CCD include allergies, medical problems, immunizations, and other demographic and administrative information from your medical record.

Note: CCD is not a complete record of your medical history. It only includes essential information necessary for the safe and effective continuation of your care.

All documents (CCD and non-CCD) are displayed in reverse chronological order. You can use the fields in the web part to filter the documents that are displayed. You can also use the columns in the document list to sort documents by name or date.
