A. Create a Dot Phrase
To create a dot phrase with Aesthetic Record, follow these steps:
- Click on Settings Gear in the top right corner.
- Click on clinical documentation
- Click on dot phrases
- Click Add in the top right
- Give your phrase a Dot(.) Phrase. For example "general". Then give your phrase a title, such as "General Procedure Note".
- Enter the description of the phrase. This is the text that will be pulled when you summon the dot phrase. The text should be a phrase or description that you use frequently when you enter data into Aesthetic Record.
For instance, if you have to start every procedure description with the phrase "The procedure is provided exclusively to", you can enter that here and assign it to the dot phrase .DUV above. Whenever you start a procedure description, you can summon .DUV and the phrase "The procedure is provided exclusively to" will be pasted to the description.
IMPORTANT REMINDER: Do not include any patient-specific information here since it will be applied any time you summon the dot phrase.
