Adding a word count to any note (progress notes, treatment plan, etc.) so we know how many words we have left. It's highly inconvenient to run out of space but not know when, so we have to go back and guess what to delete to make space to finish the notes. xx/xxx format at the bottom of the box is what I'm thinking of.
Do not limit the characters in subjective section of the SOAP note feature. This information is pertinent to paint the picture for reimbursement and continuity of care. This system is the least provider friendly and only EHR system I have used that restricts providers on characters.
The characters in the Subjective section of the SOAP note should not be limited. This could cause claims to get denied because important information that the client says or that is seen cannot be but into the note because of the limitation. This is particularly difficult for nurse practitioners and providers who are prescribing medications and needing to validate diagnoses.
