Axxess Palliative Care now provides an “Other” option under Code Status on the Advance Directives tab in each patient’s chart. Users can select this option to expand a text box where a custom code status can be entered. Custom code statuses entered through the “Other” option will appear at the top of the patient’s chart, on the Code Status widget on the Patients Dashboard, and on the Advance Directives Report for seamless tracking and management. This enhancement facilitates compliance with state requirements that mandate the use of specific code statuses.

To give a user permission to view and edit patient charts, edit the user’s profile and navigate to the Permissions tab. In the Clinical section, select View and Edit next to the Patient Chart permission. Click Save to finish granting the permissions to the user.
