Quick Notes

Quick Notes offer a way to reduce the repetition associated with documenting information, in cases where there is a great degree of common information documented in similar clinical situations during patient visits. Quick Notes can help providers increase their productivity without compromising patient care. Quick Notes enable you to save the entire SOAP template, including all data fields, check boxes, options, and associated HPI settings under a unique name. You must later edit the information for the individual patient while using the quick note. Note: If you apply a Quick Note and subsequently apply a second Quick Note, the data associated with the second Quick Note overwrites all existing data in the template.
