dot phrases: These are short phrases that can expand into additional
text. When a patient is seen in clinic we populate an area of the EMR for
past medical history where you have a three-column table for diagnosis,
date of diagnosis, and notes. Once entered the clinician can type a dot
phrase to import the information. By typing “.pastmedhx” the dot
phrase is expanded to
“Past Medical History
diagnosis date of diagnosis (diagnosis notes)
Hypertension 1998 On four meds and not at goal
“
The dot phrases that are made by the user can contain other dot phrases
that are all populated at the same time. For a follow up note one could
have a dot phrase such as .followup that contains
.name (expanded to the patient’s name) is a .age (expanded to age) .sex
(expanded to the patient’s sex) who presents for follow up for *. She is
seen in clinic for .pastmedhx
The dot phrases can be used to import lab valves.
