Updating citation clinical notes

The clipboard feature allows you to copy items from one place to another. Items include observations, clinical notes, assessments, lab results, and medications. Items remain on the clipboard until you either paste them or leave Patient Detail.

You can use the clipboard in various places within the patient’s record, including:

• Case notes

• Investigations

• Referrals

• EPMA

To paste from the clipboard into a form, the form must contain a citation clinical note. Nervecentre automatically prevents you pasting items into the wrong places.

You can find the clipboard at the top-right of the page.

The clipboard is only available to use when you are in Patient Detail. When the clipboard is unavailable, it appears grey.
