How are notes managed and updated in EHR systems after export from Freed Scribe?

When managing patient records and visit transcripts in Freed Scribe, understanding how notes integrate with your EHR system is crucial. Below, we provide an overview of key considerations, including permissions, visibility, and handling updates.

Overview of EHR Integration

Freed Scribe allows you to export notes and visit transcripts directly into your organization’s EHR system. Once exported, these notes become part of the EHR and are subject to the settings and configurations of your EHR system.

Permissions and Visibility Settings

After notes are exported or pulled into your EHR, their visibility is determined by your organization’s EHR settings and permissions. Access to these notes depends on how your IT or administrator team configures roles and permissions within the EHR. This ensures that only authorized personnel can view or edit the notes.

Handling Updates and Reassignments

If you reassign a visit in Freed Scribe after the note has already been pushed to the EHR, this action will not automatically update the note in the EHR. Any changes or corrections must be made manually within the EHR system. This ensures that the EHR remains the source of truth for patient records and avoids unintended discrepancies.


Best Practices for Managing Patient Records

  1. Coordinate with Your IT Team: Ensure that EHR permissions and roles are configured correctly to maintain appropriate access to notes.

  2. Double-Check Before Exporting: Verify the accuracy of notes in Freed Scribe before exporting them to the EHR to minimize the need for manual corrections.

  3. Document Changes Clearly: If manual updates are required in the EHR, ensure they are well-documented to maintain a clear audit trail.

By following these guidelines, you can effectively manage patient records and ensure seamless integration between Freed Scribe and your EHR system.
