Chart F4 Overview

ADD TEMPLATE (REQUIRED)

Every visit type has a template associated which includes the Medicare required content as well as default content based on legacy charting.   Templates ensure uniformity of information and that essential content is always included (and makes your documentation easier!)  Templates are organized by discipline and also Specialty Templates.  

To load a template, click/tap on the "Template Icon" above the Chart Area and scroll to the discipline or template area you would like to use and select.   A Confirmation Message will appear and then click "OK".

BASIC CHARTING

Clinicient uses a color coding system as well as a documentation carry forward feature to make documentation easier for the user.   

 

  Highlighted  Text is the default choice from the Chart Template.

 Red Text is a carry forward from a prior note's documentation.  

Areas highlighted in yellow  are required content and must be completed before a note is signed.

Charting Basics

ADDING CONTENT

Step 1.  

Click on the Area which you would like to add content.   Areas are in Black Boxes with white text.
