A template is a note structure, consisting of one or more sections. Templates save time during data entry by focusing on only relevant topics for a selected note type. A template may also contain standard text (especially within the Physical Exam subsections), further saving data entry time.
Structured notes are created based on pre-existing note templates. See Creating Templates for details.
The list of templates available to you includes those created by you and practice templates created by others for shared use.
Note: If you have a default template selected and would like to use that template, you can click the Add New button instead of selecting a template.
