Notes

The Note resource contains the clinical documentation, associated with a single Service.

Services cannot be billed until a Note is successfully attached.

Content

The content of the Note varies by partner and type of care being delivered. Bridge’s RCM team will coordinate with your clinical/operational team during onboarding, to align on the structure. For many uses cases, it follows the standard SOAP format.

Submitting a Note

After the delivery of care, the Note is submitted to Bridge via the Create Note endpoint.

The data field contains the key/value pairs that operational teams have aligned on including.

The Note should be signed by the rendering Provider, and include a timestamp that they finalized the content.

Updates

The Note is immutable. Once submitted, it’s considered locked, and cannot be modified or deleted.

If updates are required, this is done by submitting a Note Addendum under the original Note. Many EHR’s are built around this workflow, and construct a distinct addendum that can be attached here.
