Per E/M guidelines: You do not need to re-record a ROS and/or a PFSH obtained during an earlier encounter if there is evidence that the physician reviewed and updated the previous information. This may occur when a physician updates his or her own record or in an institutional setting or group practice where many physicians use a common record.
You may document the review and update by:
• Describing any new ROS and/or PFSH information or noting there is no change
in the information
• Noting the date and location of the earlier ROS and/or PFSH

by him signing and dating below, is this sufficient to account for a PFSH????
