Templates save typing on every visit. A good template is short — three to six sections — and uses smart fields so the patient context auto-fills.
Create a template
Establishment → Visit templates → New. Pick a starting point (SOAP, follow-up, telehealth) or start blank.
Sections and smart fields
Sections become the note's headings. Inside each, use smart fields like {{patient.name}}, {{vitals.bp}}, {{problem-list}}. They render at chart time — never at template-edit time.
Signature blocks
Add a Signature block at the end. Optionally require co-sign for trainees — a separate signature line appears for the supervising provider.
