Adding an Amendment to a Patient's Chart

If needed, you can add amendments to locked clinical notes. If you've already signed and locked a note, this is an option, if you have to make changes or additions. Through the amendment option, you can indicate any changes to the patient's note without unlocking it or making any official changes to the original note.

1. Hover over the Patients tab and select Patient List.
