Administrative notes allow you to leave non-clinical information on a client's profile for staff who have access to the client's chart.
Administrative notes function like sticky notes on a physical chart. Any team member with access to the client's profile can view, edit, and delete an administrative note. This includes practice managers, schedulers, and billers, even if they don’t have access to the client's full clinical profile.
Note: Administrative notes are only available on the Essential and Plus plans. This feature is not available on the Starter plan.
