Undelete a deleted note?

Post by sam-I-am » Thu Feb 11, 2016 7:19 am

I had a progress note accidentally deleted. The note is still available, if I click on the audit trail. My question is...is there any way to undelete this deleted note.

There is not currently a way to do such a thing. It would be a feature request to be able to choose a historical note to be used as the current note.

As a workaround, you might take a screenshot of Open Dental or some equivalent so that you can retype the deleted note.

The best thing about a boolean is even if you are wrong, you are only off by a bit.

An alternate workaround is to use a query to get the note from the database. Then you would be able to copy the deleted note and paste it into the procedure notes. A query like this should work:

/*All proc notes for a patient on a given day.*/
/*Query code written/modified: 02/16/2016*/
SET @PatNum=5;
SET @ProcDate='2016-02-16';
SELECT pn.Note,pl.ProcDate,pl.PatNum,pc.ProcCode
FROM procedurelog pl
INNER JOIN procnote pn ON pn.ProcNum=pl.ProcNum
INNER JOIN procedurecode pc ON pc.CodeNum=pl.CodeNum
WHERE pl.PatNum=@PatNum
AND pl.ProcDate=@ProcDate
ORDER BY pl.ProcNum
