Clinician Reminder Sheet – A new report functions as a clinician dashboard to documents due or overdue as well as documents which are incomplete or lack electronic signatures. The length of time a clinician has to complete required notesmay be set by each individual facility.

Clinician’s Orders – This area has been expanded to include all types of orders utilized by inpatient settings, including a variety of detox protocols, activity and restriction orders, and dietary orders. Nurses are notified when a new order has been entered.
Verbal Orders–Nurses mayenter verbal orders and alert the physician to sign them electronically.The order sheet documents who gave the verbal order, who entered it, and who signed it.
Initial Evaluations - Complete Assessments can be set up so that the portions of the evaluation that are to be completed by each separate discipline are highlighted. Each facility has the option to designate which parts of the Initial Examination their clinicians must complete. This letsICANotes help facilities meet documentation needsunique to their specific inpatient practice and to comply with documentation requirements mandated by their surveyors or state laws.
Treatment Plans - Clinical reminders can be set up to remind a clinician when a patient’s next Treatment Plan is due. Multiple clinicians can add information to the patient’s Treatment Plan, and the complete Comprehensive Treatment Plan may then be compiled and saved as a clinical note and electronically signed by each clinician.
Developed by a psychiatrist, ICANoteswas launched in 1998. Since then, ICANotes has continuouslyevolved its functionality to maximize its usefulness for all behavioral health professionals. Based on a rapid development platform, ICANotes releases program updates every week.

The result is an intuitive EHR that requires only minimal training.
"ICANotesis being rapidly adopted by inpatient behavioral health organizations, and the clinician’s need areat the forefront of every programming decision we make,” stated Dr. Morganstern. “We never assume that we know what is best, we prefer to be guided by our valued interactions with our users. We have worked closely with a number of facilities to design and test these new features which are intended to automate workflow for the inpatient setting.”
