An admin note is a clinician-to-clinician communication, such as "Do not allow the patient to walk unassisted." Only one Admin Note icon is displayed per patient, but multiple entries may be displayed on the same note. 4

5. Admin Notes To create an Admin Note:
Right-click the task and select Create Admin Note from the menu displayed. The Admin Note window opens.
Click the white box to position the cursor, and enter the admin note. (You should always date entries in the Admin Notes since multiple entries can be displayed on the same note.) To clear one entry, highlight it, and press DELETE. To clear all entries, simply click Clear.
Click OK to save your note and to return to the Task List window. Notice that the admin note icon now is displayed in the second column, indicating that a note has been created. 5

6. Printing the Multi Patient Task List
To Print the SPTL or MPTL:
Select Print Screen from the Task menu. On the Print dialog box, indicate the print range and the number of copies that you want.
Click Ok to print.
Remember, you can print if you just need to carry a list of tasks, but Task Lists are updated immediately when a new order is placed and a printed list may become very quickly outdated. 6
