We have a medical provider that is referring to her Assessment and Plan for the HPI and ROS rather than documenting them after the Chief Complaint. Her remark where her HPI and ROS is located on her documentation template states "see assessment and plan". Does anyone know if this is acceptable? One person within our organization was told by an AAPC member that this is fine. I personally believe this is cutting corners. Also, if this is possible is there anything in writing indicating this is an acceptable practice?

Thank you.
