Import content into a clinical note

Reusing content can be easier and faster than starting from scratch. There are three types of reusable content that you can import into your clinical notes:

Import content from an existing clinical note

  1. Open the clinical note.

  2. Click the down arrow to open the note options, then select Import.

  3. In the pop-up, select the clinical note with the contents you want to import. (Click the Icon-Preview.svg preview icon to preview the note.)

  4. To confirm, click Import.

Your current note now has the imported contents. Make sure to save your changes.

Caution

Importing an existing note will completely replace the contents of your current clinical note.

Import a clinical template in your clinical notes

  1. Create or open a clinical note for a patient.

  2. In the template editor, click the Templates button.

  3. In the pop-up, you'll find a list of clinical templates available to you. To preview a template's contents, click the arrow beside its name to toggle open a preview. You can also use the search bar to find a specific template.

  4. To use a template, click the template name.

A clinical note template populates the contents of the template editor.

A clinical tool replaces the clinical note entirely, ready to be completed. For clinical tools with scoring, publish the clinical note to calculate the score.

Note

If you selected a template from Halaxy's library, it is saved to your group templates.

Tip

If you can't find an existing template for your purposes, you can create your own clinical note template or create your own clinical tool.
