Snippets are reusable content that you can quickly insert into any text editor in Halaxy. Snippets are categorised as either clinical (clinical notes, clinical note templates) or administrative (emails, reminders, admin notes, fax).
Snippets can include:
-
Phrases
-
Sentences
-
Paragraphs
-
Lists
-
Links
-
Images
Using snippets saves you time and keeps your practice's records consistent.
Note
Any snippets added to your settings are available for use in your practice group, however only users with clinical access can use clinical snippets.
