The snapshot status report can be used to ensure all clients have a snapshot of Med/Clinical data in their Activity Log. This report compares the last update date of Med/Clinical assessments or treatment plans against the date their snapshots were completed and saved to the patient's activity log. If you are planning to opt-in to a BestNotes Profile, review of this report, and collecting all snapshots for a year prior to today's date are required.

Permissions Required

No specific BestNotes permissions are required.
