Lesson Two: Creating Power. Notes In this lesson you will learn: • How to Create Power. Notes
Sample Workflow • Patient Johnny Q has presented for a four year Well Child Check. The nurse has completed the Ambulatory Intake, documenting the Height, Weight, reason(s) for visit, etc. The patient has also been roomed. • Prior to entering the room, you have reviewed the Ambulatory Summary (which contains information that the nurse has entered for the visit). • You are now ready to initiate a Power. Note for the patient.
Ambulatory Summary Prior to entering the room, you will have reviewed the Ambulatory Summary which contains information that the nurse has entered on the intake form.
Physician Documentation Go to the Physician Documentation Menu Chart Tab, select the ‘ ’ sign on the Add Button and select Power. Note.
The date will default. Select the Note type from the Catalog to begin creating a note. Expand the folders by clicking the ‘+’ sign.
Auto Populate Document The Auto-Populate window opens every time that you create a Power. Note. At times, most items will be pre-selected in the Auto-Populate window to be included in the Power. Note. You can deselect the items that you do not want to appear on the Power. Note by unchecking the box next to the entry.
The selected Power. Note will appear with Auto Populate terms already entered. The note is defaulted to hide the structure of some paragraphs within the note, with the exception of the Chief Complaint paragraph.
What Is A Power. Note • A Power. Note is a structured note with paragraphs, sentences and terms. • Completing a Power. Note is a as simple as selecting the paragraph or term on the left (i. e. Review of Systems) and then selecting a term on the right.
Documentation Options • You can expand collapse paragraphs in Power. Notes using <Show Structure> and <Hide Structure>. These options put a focus on the information that you want displayed. • Above, <Show Structure> has been selected, displaying the structure of a paragraph including the sentences and terms.
Documentation Options • <Hide Structure> collapses the paragraph hiding the sentences and terms. • Above, <Hide Structure> has been selected for the data above to collapse the Well Child History section. The Review of Systems section has been expanded by using <Show Structure>.
Documentation Options Negating a Term • The first time that you click on a term in the Power. Note, it will be selected to be included in the Power. Note. The second time that you click on the term, it will be negated and a strike-through will appear. • The third time that you click on the same term, the entry will be cleared.
Documentation Options Using the OTHER term • The “OTHER” term is an option available for inserting freetext into a note. It is recommended to use the “OTHER” term when documenting brief and term specific information within a note. This term is generally the last term available for every sentence within a paragraph.
Documentation Options Using the Freetext Option • • • Freetext allows you to enter text directly into a Power. Note without selecting any terms or sentences from the template provided. Double clicking within any portion of the note allows text to be inserted directly into the note. To enable free text at the beginning of a note, double click in a white area between the note header and the first paragraph. A cursor will appear to allow free-texting to begin.

Lesson Three: Creating and Using Macros In this lesson you will learn: • How to Create and Use Macros
Sample Workflow • Macros are partially completed personal templates that you use frequently. They can be comprised of terms, sentences or a paragraph. Using Macros will simplify how you enter / create your Power. Notes. • You would use a Macro to complete a specific section that is common (ex. documenting Enlarged, Firm, and Mobile Glands in the Physical Examination section for a Strep Patient).
Creating a Macro on Paragraph To begin entering a Macro, create a Power. Note and document (click to select) the terms to be included in the macro. Once all of the terms have been selected, right click on the paragraph title and select “Save Macro As. ”
Saving a Macro Within the Title field, enter the name of the macro. Do Not select “Create as shared”. This will make the macro available to all users (with access to Power. Notes) within the organization. When this checkbox is left blank, only you will see the macro. Select “Create New” to save the macro.
Inserting a Macro To insert your Macro into your note, go to the paragraph or note section where you want to insert a macro. Click on the blue M next to the paragraph title or term to show the list of available macros.
Using Macros • Click on the name of the macro to insert it into the note. The options that were selected from the macro that you built will appear in the Power. Note. Selecting “more…” from the dialog box will display all personal and available shared macros for that indicator.

Lesson Four: Creating and Using Auto-Text In this lesson you will learn: • How to Create and Use Auto-Text
Sample Workflow You can create auto-text for entries that you often type into a Power. Note. By using a standard naming convention, you can easily select auto-text that you created and add it into your Power. Note. For example, Dr. Quinn commonly types in “Avoid migraine triggers such as caffeine, lack of sleep, poor eating…. ” to her Migraine Power. Notes. Instead of typing the text for every applicable visit, she can type it once, save it as an autotext, and apply it to Power. Notes as needed.
Creating an Auto Text Phrase • • • Click the Manage Auto Text button Click the Add New Phrase Button Enter the Abbreviation you want to use Enter a description of the abbreviation From the text box, enter the text that will replace the Auto Text phrase
Using Auto Text When you are ready to use the auto text that you created, simply begin typing the text abbreviation into a free text section. The auto text abbreviation will appear. Double click on it and the auto text will be added into your Power. Note.
End of Lesson Four To go to Lesson Five, click the e. Ki. Ds icon below.
Lesson Five: Creating and Using Pre-Completed Notes In this lesson you will learn: • How to Create and Use Pre-Completed Notes
Sample Workflow Precompleted Notes allows you to save a note that you intend to use often so that it can be partially completed for you later. You can reuse your precompleted note as often as you would like. Dr. Hawkeye Pierce sees a fairly high number of strep patients. He created a Power. Note once, documenting information that occurs in the majority of the cases (i. e. swollen glands, sore throat, fever) and saves the note. Dr. Pierce can later use the same note on other patients and make changes to the note based on the visit that he is seeing.
To create a Precompleted Note, open a new Power. Note. Then document the encounter information, selecting the recurring data elements and excluding patient/encounter specific data.
Once the note has been documented, from the Documentation menu, select “Save As Precompleted Note. ” This will launch the “Save As Precompleted Note” dialog box.
In the Note Title box, enter a title for the Precompleted Note. Select “Save as New” to save the note. The Precompleted Note is now a user specific note that can only be used and updated you. Note: Additional options such as sharing and updating precompleted notes are discussed and demonstrated during classroom instruction.
Apply A Note To apply a note that you have created to a patient, select the Precompleted Tab within Power. Notes. Then locate the note that you want to use and select OK.
Created Note The note will be created with the data elements that you already selected.
Tips and Tricks • If you saved a precompleted note in error, you can delete it. • Remember that if you use someone else’s precompleted note, save it as your own before making any changes. • Macros are typically not shared. • Autotext can be modified, as necessary (additional information on modifying auto-text is provided during training classes) Remember: The system now tracks when you delete Precompleted notes and macros and a warning message is displayed if shared or Precompleted notes are deleted.
