Append a Signed Encounter Note

This can be done for notes signed inadvertently, missing data, and more.

3. Double-Click on the encounter note you wish to append.
   
   
   
4. 
   a. Add an Addendum: Click in the area in the note you wish to add an addendum.
   b. Strikethrough: Click and drag to highlight the text you wish to strikethrough.
   
   
   
5. Click the Add a Chart Correction button in the upper right corner.
   
   
6.  Type your addendum in the box, then click the Insert Correction button to add it to the chart.
   
   
7. The Addendum will now be inserted.
   
   
   
8. Sign the note to save the addendum.
