Feel free to attend training more than once if needed.  We ask that you begin to use Provider Documentation as soon as you have attended class.  Since electronic documentation is now becoming the norm, paper progress notes, consult forms, H&Ps, and discharge summaries will be removed from the chart binders effective September 28th to eliminate hybrid documentation.  Auto-printing of electronic notes will also stop at that time.  (Demand printing of provider notes will still be possible.)
