2 MINUTE PEARLS
Copy Forward Function
• The Copy Forward function of AHLTA is a valuable time
saver that easily brings information from a previous
encounter forward to your current encounter eliminating
need to reenter duplicate information.
• The information that is carried forward includes bullets
from the S/O portion of the note as well as items from
the A/P module including diagnoses, procedures,
orders, and other therapies.
• This function works best for patients involved in serial
visits for the same problem (i.e. post procedure visits,
chronic wound care visits, obstetrical visits, chronic
disease follow up, etc…) where similar clinical items
need to be documented.
