Default template dropdown

The default template dropdown in PowerScribe One allows users to efficiently select and apply templates for radiology reporting, streamlining workflow and ensuring consistency in report structure and content. This feature is designed to enhance user experience by providing quick access to relevant templates.

The default template dropdown becomes available only when all three configuration requirements are met:

  • The Default AutoText functionality is enabled.
  • AutoText categorization is applied to another template (procedure code assignment).
  • The relevant AutoText is classified as a Template.

If any of these requirements are not met, the default template dropdown menu is not visible.

Steps to use default template dropdown

Step 1: Locate the default template dropdown

In the Report Editor, locate the Default Template dropdown menu in the report header. This menu appears after a default template has been inserted and provides access to additional relevant templates that are available for use.

Step 2: Select a default template

  • Select the dropdown arrow to view the list of available templates.
  • Browse through the options and select the template that best fits your reporting needs.

Note

Both Site and Personal AutoText appear in this list. If an AutoText shares the same name at both levels, the Site AutoText is identified by [S] at the end of the AutoText name.

Step 3: Apply the template

  • Once a template is selected, it automatically replaces the existing report structure and content fields based on the newly selected template’s configuration.
  • The template may include predefined sections, merge fields, and formatting to support standardized reporting.

Step 4: Customize as needed

  • Edit the report as needed, adding or modifying content to suit the specific case.

Step 5: Save or finalize the report

After completing the report, save or finalize it according to your workflow requirements.
