If you’ve signed a chart entry and need to make a correction or add missing information, you can use the Amend option. Jane keeps the original entry intact and records all changes with a date and timestamp, so your charts stay compliant with standard charting regulations.

Instructions

1. Open the patient's chart and locate the signed entry you need to amend.
2. Click Amend at the bottom of the chart entry, or click the header of the chart entry and scroll to the bottom to find the Amend button.
   
3. Hover over the chart section you need to change and click the orange Insert Amendment button.
   
4. Make your changes to the chart section.
5. Click Sign at the bottom of the entry to complete the amendment.

🩵 Jane Tip: To change the title or date of the chart entry, click the orange button at the top of the entry. Click the orange checkmark to save those changes before continuing.

What to Expect

Once signed, the amendment is saved to the chart. Jane records the date and time the original entry was created, as well as the date and time the amendment was made. In the printed view, the original content appears first with the dated amendment displayed underneath the relevant chart section.

Important Notes

• Charting regulations generally require that original entries remain legible and that all changes are documented and dated. Jane’s amendment feature is designed to support this.
• Only the staff member who created the chart entry, meaning the author, can amend it.
