You can create short custom notes that can be quickly added to a patient's clinical notes (if you are using the classic clinical notes). You can define up to 99 custom notes.
To customize Custom Notes
In the Practice Definitions dialog box, in the Definition Type list, select Custom Notes.
The corresponding definitions appear in the list to the right.
Do any of the following:
If there are fewer than 99 definitions, to add a definition, do the following:
With any definition selected, replace the existing text (which can be up to 50 characters in length) in the Definition Text box.
Click Add.
Notes:
This button is available only if there are not already 99 definitions.
The new definition is added in the first available spot (if there are no gaps in the sequence, it will be the last item) and given an ID.
To edit a definition, do the following:
Select a definition.
Note: Changing the definition for a custom note does not affect the text of any clinical notes that are attached to patients' records.
Replace the existing text (which can be up to 50 characters in length) in the Definition Text box.
Click Change.
To delete a definition, do the following:
Select a definition.
Note: Deleting the definition for a custom note does not affect the text of any clinical notes that are attached to patients' records, but that custom note will no longer be available for selection.
Click Delete.
A confirmation message appears.
