ADDENDUMS

After the Extremity Exam has been saved, it can be changed, edited, or modified ONLY by using the Addendum tool (figure 68). Click on the Addendum button (figure 67) at the top center to open the Addendum window. Note that default information is entered automatically, showing the Date of the Addendum, the Initial Report Date, and which member of the office staff is making this entry. Required data that must be entered includes the name of the doctor that is making this Addendum, the Addendum itself (the information being added to the report), and the Reason the Addendum is being made. This format is required at both the State and Federal levels.
