A Structured Progress Note (SPN) can be added to an assessment in the Custom Assessments Library. An SPN allows you to build the content of a Progress Note that pushes to the Prog Note tab of a resident's chart upon completion of the assessment. Content for an SPN can populate from multiple areas, including responses, narrative responses, resident profile, scores, and score categories.

If you want to add narrative responses that can be used in the construction of the SPN, this must be done while the assessment is in the Under Construction section. They cannot be added after the assessment is moved to Ready for Scoring/SPN Setup and the SPN is created.

Creating Narrative Responses

After the assessment is built and the narratives are added (if applicable), the assessment must be moved to the Ready for Scoring/SPN Setup section to create the Structured Progress Note.

You must create a new Progress Note Type to use in the Structured Progress Note.
