Epic Update To Hospital Course Note

What You Need To Know

Beginning Wednesday, May 3, providers can get a head start on their discharge summary by documenting the patient's hospital course summary throughout the Admission Rounding and Transfer Workflows.
Providers create a new hospital course note which they continually update during their rounding workflows.

Providers can review and edit the summary of the patient's admission while doing their standard rounding documentation.
If providers are using problem-oriented charting, they can review and update the course of individual problems while writing their current assessment & plan (A&P) note for each problem.
The hospital course, including problem-specific details, is automatically pulled into the clinician's discharge summary, where the provider can easily review the hospital course documentation rather than creating it at the end of the admission.
