Synapse EMR client 161 is now available, and includes a comprehensive point and click templating system for both review of systems and physical examinations.
You can look at the templates by selecting the "
Custom" tab, and then move to the "
Template" tab. 14 sample templates have been built, and you can click on them to see the source code for these, and double click, or use the "
Check" button to display the template.
To actually use a template, you need to be in the
consultation editor where the fourth tab on the right after "
Macros" allows you to select a template.
Note that when using a template, "-" translates to absent, "+" to present, "N" to normal, and "A" to abnormal. The edit lists are only used to generate text if the "+" or "A" radio buttons are selected. If not selected, then any entries are ignored.
Inside an examination, the findings are remembered until the consultation editor is closed down.
The templates supplied are first pass attempts, and will be modified based upon user feedback. In the next release, you will be able to edit, create, and save your own templates.
