Saving Clicks and Keystrokes
• Having a template be as close as possible to
being done the minute it is opened is the
ideal.
• This means that you want to have the most
common default values to every element of
the template already present in the template.
• And, the patient’s own previous values should
come in automatically whenever appropriate
Creating a Data Entry From
• One way of getting lots of data in at once is to
create a data entry form. This can be especially
helpful for an initial visit.
• The point of such a form is rapid data entry, not a
pretty note to show a referring doctor.
• This can be saved in “Miscellaneous Notes” so it
does not show up in “Progress Notes.”
• Once the form has been saved, a conventional
note can be opened for the visit that will pull in
the data as appropriate.
Sample Data Entry form
The next several slides show a form
created for an endocrinologist to
transfer data from paper charts and
another EMR into Practice Partner
Expanding/Recursive Quick Text
to Make Data Entry Easier
We will use Past Medications and
Why They Were Stopped
Past Medications, and Why?
Past Medications and Why?
Past Medications and Why?
Past Medications and Why?
• Each Past Medication Category will hold up to
10 medications and the reason they were
discontinued
• The categories for diabetes are:
– Past oral medications
– Past injectible medications
– Past lipid lowering medications
– Past ACEIs
– Past ARBs
Summary
• A Data Entry from can be an effective tool for
speeding data entry into the patient’s chart
• If the data are stored as Lab Data Values and
Clinical Elements, they can be reused and
pulled into future notes automatically
• Once the data are in the chart, they can be
edited within a note with dot codes, from a
Lab Table, of from a Clinical Element Table
