Which option is valid for completing procedure documentation?

Using SmartText as your progress note is a valid choice for completing procedure documentation because SmartText is designed to streamline documentation within EpicCare by allowing providers to insert standardized text templates. This functionality enhances efficiency and ensures consistency across documentation, as it can include structured data fields that capture necessary details regarding the procedure being performed. Additionally, SmartTexts often include relevant clinical information, coding, and billing details which support accurate records and compliance with required documentation standards.

Other options do not align with best practices. Sending charges later may result in billing delays or missed charges; verifying through a third party is unnecessary for documentation completeness; and using unapproved notes can lead to issues with compliance, accuracy, and data integrity. Therefore, relying on SmartText for documentation is a preferred method that supports accurate and timely clinical records in the EpicCare system.
