Speeding Up and Making better records

[Andrea Sargent]

Hi Team!
I feel so confident in the content and love what this has done for my practice. I am just starting back up again after relocating to another country, and one of the big things that got me into trouble once I started seeing more patients is my treatment notes.
Do you have systems for speeding up this process? I thought about making a cheat sheet for common things I see in exams, but I feel this became a problem when I actually started using my EHR properly and started typing my notes rather than my butchardized short hand dr scratch and symbols. It has literally tripled or quadrupled my patient note times, and I want to put a system in place before I get busy!
Thanks!
Andrea

Hi Andrea, I'm finding something similar!
I've tried having a checklist in another document with everything prefilled to be normal, i.e. good contraction or whatever, and then copy-pasting into my notes and changing what KPI's showed up. It's kinda helpful? Have you found any solutions so far that have worked for you?
Cheers
