Deficiencies can be applied to encounter-level documents displayed in the Analysis window. Deficiencies cannot be applied to patient-level documents, which are shared across multiple encounters.

Note:

If a document needs to be rotated, rotate it and save the rotation before creating a deficiency. If a document is rotated after a deficiency is created, then the deficiency's orientation on the document changes.

To create a deficiency on the document displayed in the Analysis window:

  1. Select the physician whose signature is missing using either of the following methods.
    • Select the physician from the Physician drop-down list. By default, the attending physician is selected.

    • Search for the physician as described under Searching for a Physician.

  2. Select a Deficiency Type from the drop-down:
