The Inpatient Summaries widget displays the patient’s discharge summaries, inpatient notes, as well as history and physical summaries. The information is displayed in reverse chronological order by the note date. To open the widget, left-click the Inpatient Summaries icon from the widget tray that appears at the bottom of the Patient Portal, drag the icon to the screen, and drop where desired on the portal.
Note: Click from the widget toolbar to display the filter options in the minimized view of the widget. Using expanded search dates is recommended to display notes started prior to admission and notes signed after discharge. When looking for Essentris information associated with a specific admission, it is recommended that you expand search date ranges to include additional days before and after the admission. This will include pre-admission notes as well as notes signed after the patient was discharged in the filtered widget display.
