New "Note Type" Changes Happening October 15

On Monday, October 15, there will be three “Note Type” changes you may notice in the Inpatient Setting of Epic:

• The “OnCall” Note no longer requires a co-signature by the Attending when the Resident writes the note. This note type can be used to document incidents that happened while on call.
  
  
• The “Significant Event” Note will now require a co-signature by the Attending when the Resident writes the note. This note type should be used to document life-threatening events for the patients.
  
  
• NEW NOTE TYPE: The “Restraints or Seclusion” Note will also require a co-signature by the Attending when the Resident writes the note. This note should be completed any time the patient has been placed in restraints.
