Managing MPI Clinical Documentation (Historical Records)

Master Patient Index (MPI) Clinical Documentation setup allows you to select the type and duration of historical records that can be accessed for residents. 

Historical records are available when a resident has clinical documentation in the IRM module and is admitted to a facility, or a resident transfers between facilities in a multi-facility organization.

After setup is complete, a filing cabinet icon appears in a resident's chart and when clicked shows historical documentation with the option to view, copy, renew, or print, depending on the module and security.

  1. Do one of the following:

    • Single facility: Clinical > Setup > MPI Clinical Documentation Configuration (Historical Records).

    • Multi-facility: Management Console > Standards > Care Management > MPI Clinical Documentation Configuration (Historical Records).

  • Historical records in the Tasks tab are only available if the same Task Library is in use in both facilities.

  • It is recommended to review all options even if modules aren't in use.
