Description of CME Course
CMS defines a template as a “tool/instrument/interface that assists in documenting a progress note.” Physicians and other licensed independent providers routinely create their own and may even collaborate with other colleagues and care team members to develop effective templates. However, there exists confusion whether Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) allows the use of note templates to assist in documentation of medical information associated with patient encounters.
To earn full credit for this activity, you must review all accompanying resources, which have been curated to support your learning of the subject matter.
