Templates

A template is a partially completed report you can load as a starting point. If most of your chest-pain calls begin with the same twelve findings, record them once and start there every time.

Saving one​

Build the report up to the point you want as a starting position, then open Templates in the sidebar and save it with a name.

Templates hold the structure and findings you set up, not the specifics of one patient. Do not save a template from a report containing anything patient-identifiable — see below.

Loading one​

Templates → load. MedJot asks you to confirm first, because loading a template overwrites the current report. If there is work in the form you have not exported, deal with that first.

Managing them​

Rename and delete from the same modal. Templates are per-account and available on any device you sign in on.

warning

Templates are stored against your account on our servers — they are the one piece of report-shaped content that is, precisely so they are waiting for you on your next device and next shift. This is the reason a template must never contain patient-identifiable information. Everything in How reports work about local-only clinical data applies to reports; a saved template is a deliberate exception you make by saving it.

Templates are kept until you delete them, or until your account is deleted.

Good and bad templates​

Good: the standard set of negatives you always assess for a presentation; your usual scene descriptors; a treatment plan skeleton; the sections you always complete in a given order.

Bad: anything from a real patient that you did not clear out first. Load, check, then save — it takes ten seconds and it is the difference between a reusable skeleton and a record of someone's encounter sitting in a database.
