Load a Chart Template

Templates are usually created from one topic in the Clinical Content Management System. For example, a shoulder template would probably be created from a Shoulder topic. There may be many specialized templates created from one, more general topic. Here are some examples:

Topic	Template
Shoulder	General Shoulder Template
	Rotator Cuff Repair Template
	Shoulder Arthroplasty Template
Knee	Anterior Knee Pain Template
	Post Op ACL Reconstruction
	Template
	Knee Arthroplasty Template
Speech	Dysarthria Template
	Feeding Template

Obviously, there are likely many common elements to the templates that are created from the same parent topic.

When using a template, many elements from a topic can be loaded into the chart at the same time and then the therapist can simply complete required elements and add other important clinical findings.

When templates are created, some of the items may be associated with an anatomical region, such as an extremity. You will be prompted to select the affected extremity when loading the template.

In this example, the Left Upper Extremity and Left Shoulder of the patient are affected.
