Using Quick Fill in forms
On a desktop, you can use Quick Fill in forms. With Quick Fill, you can save the values you entered into clinical notes, and use those saved values in another form of the same type. From the top of a form, select .
For example, you perform total hip replacements, which have similar instructions for recovery. After you perform a total hip replacement, you complete an operation note. You enter instructions for recovery in the clinical note 'Surgical Recovery Instructions'. You save the text you entered. When you perform another total hip replacement, you can add the same recovery instructions to the operation note. You can edit those instructions as needed.
You can only save values for specific types of clinical notes, including 'Text', 'Select', 'Multiselect', 'Coded Select', 'Coded Multiselect', and 'Snomed CT'. The clinical notes can have any scope except 'Permanent'.

About saving multiple versions of the same clinical note
When you save the values on a form, you can add more than one version of a clinical note to your set of saved values. You can have different values for each version of the clinical note. When you use your set of saved values, you can choose the version you want to use in the clinical note on your form.
Some types of clinical note allow you to choose more than one version of a clinical note. The table below explains how Quick Fill works for each supported type of clinical note.
|
Text |
You can enter a paragraph of text for each version of the clinical note. When you use your set of saved values, you can add the text for each version as a separate paragraph. For example, you have a clinical note called 'My notes'. You make three versions of the clinical note in your set of saved values. These are 'First, I noticed', 'Secondly, I think', and 'Finally, I can say that.'. When you use that set of saved values, you can add each of these paragraphs to the same clinical note on your form. |
|
Select Coded Select |
You can choose one value for each version of the clinical note. When you use that set of saved values, you can choose to use one of these versions in the clinical note on your form. |
|
Multiselect Coded Multiselect |
You can choose more than one value for each version of the clinical note. For example, the clinical note 'Surgical Outcome' has the options 'Procedure completed as planned', 'Additional unplanned procedure performed', 'Unable to complete necessary procedure', and 'Patient deceased'. You make two versions of the clinical note. For the first version, you choose 'Procedure completed as planned' and 'Additional unplanned procedure performed'. For the second version, you choose 'Unable to complete necessary procedure' and 'Patient deceased'. When you use that set of saved values, you can choose to use one of these versions in the clinical note on your form. |
|
Snomed CT |
You can choose more than one value for each version of the clinical note. When you use that set of saved values, you can choose to use one of these versions in the clinical note on your form. |
