For those who teach and have rotators seeing patients, this allows for the pharmacy resident to see this patient and create a visit note. Then the preceptor can sign off on the note with any addendum that is needed. Resident documentation is specific for each institution, thus this screen can be used to suit the needs of the pharmacist in charge. For many, this screen is used to show that the visit was performed by a resident with assistance from the preceptor. For others, this screen allows for a final check before they sign the note and send it to the referring physician for final approval of the plan.
