Save drafts of progress notes before forwarding for supervisor approval
When I save a progress note it gets sent to my supervisor for approval. Allow me to save a draft of the note so that I can continue editing it before it gets sent to my supervisor.

Clicking the Save button in a progress note will now save the note as a draft without triggering the supervisory workflow. The new Save & Submit to Supervisor(s) button under the Save will notify your supervisor the progress note is ready to view or cosign.

Supervisees are provided a checkbox within their notes that they require co-signature. They can choose from a dropdown menu who to route their notes to for co-signature. The supervisor receives the routed notes in an inbox of sorts to know which notes require co-signature.

As a supervisor we need a notification to review an intake completed by our supervisee, just like we do for a progress note.
Please add this document to the to be reviewed alert.
This needs to be review, returned or signed off on by the supervisor, then signed by the supervisee.

Yes please! It takes so much time to sort through notes that need a quick edit vs are simply incomplete. This is very necessary.

This appears to be a significant issue in that as a supervisor I am getting notified that a note is ready for approval when it is actually still in progress for my supervisee who is in the process of saving and editing the note. A more efficient process would be to have an "In-Progress" status versus "Submitted for Approval" status for supervisees when they are completing their notes so that the supervisor isn't having to create additional ways to manage the process.

I know that recent changes to supervisee/supervisor workflow have happened, but there still needs to be a "save" vs "submit to supervisor" to limit confusion and unnecessary notifications.

Add a "save and send to supervisor" button on the note. When I create a note now, it saves the draft and sends that to my supervisor for signature. It gets confusing when you're supervising multiple members and they are signing notes all day.

Adding "send for review" or something along those lines. When saving the progress note, it'll send to the supervisor for review before the note is complete. It would be nice to add another button to send to the supervisor for review when the note is complete.

Currently, notes automatically default to review status when they are saved. However, it is common to start a note, and complete it at a later time. This results in the reviewer seeing the note as ready for review, when in fact, it may not be complete. It would be great if notes could have a save option, and a "save & submit to reviewer" button so that it only gets submitted when it is ready for review.

Add a button to forward draft/saved/signed notes to other providers (e.g. supervisor). This should be available for all notes, including contact log, treatment plants, initial assessment, etc. Thank you

Allow user to work on a note and save it without sending it for review to supervisor. Currently as soon as it is saved, the supervisor receives it for review. This makes it hard to start a note and finish it at a later time.

Hi,
I'd love to be able to sign my note immediately after I write it. Right now, I have to wait until my supervisor signs it, and I often forget to go back and sign.
Thanks!
