Select the customizable template option

Scroll to any of the sections that offer a customizable template option: History of Present Illness, Allergies,  Physical Exam, Results, Procedure, and Assessment and Plan. In any of those 6 sections:

  • Select the open icon  next to the heading name.

  • Find the style option labeled "Template."

  • Open the drop-down menu and choose the customizable template for that specific note section.

A suggested template will appear. Try using the default template first before making edits. You may find that, combined with your selected primary medical specialty, it already provides the AI output you need for that section.

Notes: 

  • Templates apply only to the specific section to which they are assigned. Example: A Physical Exam template only affects the Physical Exam section. There is no template that covers the entire note.

  • If you do not see a template option in any of the six supported sections, contact your admin.
