And while your penmanship may be great, mine is abominable. Templates dramatically reduce the risk of that scribble penalty. Although I add handwritten clarifications to my tem- plates, they represent a minority of the overall progress note. Finally, checklists and templates can offer huge benefits to patients.
His point: Checklists make air travel exceedingly safe and can dramatically improve clinical outcomes. A prime example: hand- washing and other standard precautions when placing central lines. They may offer certain advantages, but they also pack a lot of pitfalls, clinical and otherwise.
While templates save time, they often offer little clinical specificity. The check box is a black box. Some templates skip the boxes and provide blank lines or fields for clinicians to populate.
Templates can cause major coding and compliance problems. Although providers understand that labs and imaging studies require medical necessity, they often forget that the same is true for the history and physical and exam. Eye and ear examination for a patient with diverticulitis?
Coding, communication with other care providers, and physician efficiency can all be impacted by template-based documentation. The discussion of EMR template use is a complex one. In many cases you can see the benefits of using an EMR template, but there are also a lot of downsides to their use.
I remember when Dr. West wrote a blog post about why he loves his EMR templates. As I thought about his views I realized what the difference was in his templates and the templates that many other doctors use. He created his own EMR templates that were specific to him. I think that makes all the difference in the world. What then are the benefits and challenges of using EMR templates. I look forward to hearing which ones I might have missed in the comments.
I think the key when considering templates is how to make sure you get the benefits while mitigating the down sides. I think this is possible, but it takes some time and a thoughtful approach to make it happen.

John is highly involved in social media, and in addition to his blogs can be found on Twitter: techguy. John makes a good point. When done right, templates can be an indispensable help. Conversely, an EMR can almost be rendered useless when its templates are poorly designed or too general. In response to this issue, SOAPware has become one of the only EMR systems that allows users to design and share their own templates with thousands of other practices.
We believe that this will allow simpler and more cost effective customization for different medical specialties. Does it make sense to have the physicians be the ones focused on using these tools? The evidence is that it takes 9 times longer for physicians to fill out structured templates than to dictate. What sense does it make to have the most expensive employee doing clerical work and who becomes the bottleneck to throughput and the ability to manage a larger panel of patients?
This only adds costs when reducing costs are going to be the key to success in the new payment systems. Let the care team and the patient capture the needed, structured data that can be reviewed and corrected by the care team quarterback.
Unfortunately, almost all EHR software as well as their implementations are designed to turn doctors into data trolls. This will soon be the path to non-sustainability and the unloading of overpriced, obsolete systems and methods. John Lynn. Facebook Twitter Pinterest LinkedIn. A little while back on the 3M blog , they wrote what I think is a pretty good summary of the pros and cons of EMR templates: Using template-based documentation provided by most EHR vendors allows for documentation to be available almost immediately for communication with the rest of the care team, which is important especially for daily progress notes.

Healthcare VR Those are the complex cases, the cases where you really want to convey important information. And I would give physicians that opportunity," he explains.
Of course, not all template systems are created equal, and some may be overly burdensome in their requirements. Mellick criticizes systems that "have a chart for every possible patient complaint. The problem, Mellick says, is that a physician has to choose, up front, from as many as 50 potential templates, and that initial choice may "take you down a pathway that is not appropriate for the patient.
For example, someone may come in with leg pain and really turn out to have thrombophlebitis. Mellick adds that, all too frequently, what seems to be a simple complaint that merits a low coding level turns out to be a critical care situation.
Mellick and his colleagues at the Medical College of Georgia have addressed this problem by creating templates of their own. Moss acknowledges that having a small number of more generalized templates makes it easier to select the correct template on the front end. He acknowledges that there are some patients whose presentation evolves as they progress through the ED.
