Webcast Overview

Let Galen's expert EHR Consultants help you with: Advanced Note Build including the basic building blocks that make up a note template and advanced note form editing tools and properties.

Q&A

Question: Can you group/link multiple headings together?

Answer: By definition each heading will be separate from the next in terms of properties, etc. Depending on what you are
trying to do, you may be able to get around this in terms of the render text order for headings by making them fall one after
another sequentially from within the tab order. This, however, is a rough workaround. There may be alternatives depending on
what you are trying to do but I would have to see the example to say for certain.

Question: Can you have info 'wrap text' in one text field?

Answer: Unfortunately no. The Positive/Negative Text filled out for one finding cannot be wrapped. Additionally, the
display name will not wrap when displaying on the actual form itself. If you have a long heading name, consider ways to break
that  out into multiple headers or reduce the name by abbreviating words or breaking it out into multiple headers.

Question: Can you have multiple paragraphs in one text field?

Answer: No.

Question: Have you ever used the Paragraph setting - what does it actually do?

Answer: Yes. The "Force New Paragraph" setting will cause the Postive/Negative Text defined within your findings(s) to
appear on a new line. It will not create a new paragraph in the traditional sense of placing a blank line between the last
paragraph, rather you can think of it as forcing the rendered text to appear on a new line versus appearing after the end of the
last sentence on the same line if this setting is unchecked.

Question: A lot of Medcins have ~T in the rendering what is the ~T supposed to do?

Answer: Alot of times you may see ~T or ~L placeholders appear in the Positive/Negative Text of medcin-based findings
within note forms. I do not believe these have any real properties that can be controlled within note forms, nor have I ever
found any official documentation that explains what they are intended to do. I will continue to research and post more
information here should I come across anything.

Question: How can you use the property table to reorder with text boxes?

Answer: The Form Bulk Properties tool within the Note Form Build workspace can be used to change things such as Group Name,
Display Name, Positive Text, Negative Text and Tab Order on many elements at once. This applies to all headings and Medcin/Text
controls within the noteform. Text Entry (blank boxes) that are built will not show in this area, however, and their settings need
to be controlled or changed individually. Not all settings/properties do appear in this area either, so it can't be used as a
across-the-board solution for managing properties of all elements within a note form.

Question: How do import your images from your computer? What if your picture doesnt show up?

Answer: Please visit this page for step-by-step instructions on this process: Adding an Image to a Note

Question: Is there a way to re-view this presentation or view prior Galen Webcasts?

Answer: 

Question: When ""all normal"" is chosen from within the form, will the check boxes appear so the provider can see which are included? For example, if the doc is completing a note form during documentation and chooses ""all normal"", will the checkmarks appear?

Answer: Yes. When the All Normal checkbox is checked, the boxes/findings that are definined to participate in All Normal
rendering will show as checked once the All Normal box is checked.

Question: Is there a good alternative to Hidden Headers for inserting blank lines?

Answer: Other than trying to separating information out into different note sections, no. If it is separated out into
different sections and associated forms within those sections, there is a visual break/blank area present between each note
section when viewing the final note from the output.

Question: Is there any way to automatically populate the tab order?

Answer: No. The best way to mitigate this is to attempt to build your form in the exact order you want it to eventually
render. Building it this way will automatically assign the next sequential number in tab order to each successive element within
the note form. This can be very difficult to do and sometimes is not possible if you are working with elements from a copied form,
however this is really the only way to accomplish what you are asking for.

Question: How does the CC provider task work in the properties of the note?

Answer:
