We have identified two issues that users may be experiencing. Issue #1: Generative text from Smart Switch fields and any child fields tied to the Smart Switch does not render in the clinical note preview. Issue #2: Generative text from switch fields that have been turned off persist in the clinical note preview.Affected users may also experience billing codes tied to these switch fields that persist in the clinical note preview when the switch is disabled. Our team is working diligently to make changes related to these issues, test thoroughly and release to end users. We will provide additional updates as progress is made.
