25 Templates / Check Boxes Auto Features
26 Default Text Auto Features Regulatory authority (College) determines a physician s record incorrectly filled by making wrong selection from a number of options on the electronic template for physical findings The College counsels the physician against using boiler plate default text
27 Use Automatic Features with Care Auto Features Doctor, your notes on your physical examination don t reflect really what happened. How can we believe anything you say?
28 Auto Features Paper charts If it wasn t charted it wasn t done With EMRs It s charted, but was it done?
29 Use Automatic Features with Care Auto features Free-text is protective
