Templates
 The best time saver
 Default template (except TSWF, Usability AIM)
 TSWF
 Usability AIM Form
 Generic example
13
Templates: Advantages
 Most efficient documentation process
 Minimizes duplicative efforts
 Standardizes documentation process
 Configure readable notes
 Familiarity facilitates efficiency
 Promotes patient safety
 Improved coding compliance
14
Template Management
Purge unnecessary Templates
From Template Management:
Select ‘Default Encounter Template to set a
Default Encounter
Right click to remove the template from
your favorites
15
Template Management
Make the most of improved Template
Management:
Use Edit to modify existing templates
Add Order sets
Use “Add To Default Template” to modify your
default template while documenting an encounter.
16
Templates: Approved templates
Borrow don’t build templates. Look for
“approved” templates in the Enterprise Folders
based on specialty.
17
The TSWF
The Tri Service Workflow (TSWF)
 Workflow concept built around a core AIM form
 Team documentation effort
 “Live” Document
 Takes advantage of effective AHLTA features, overcomes
AHLTA challenges to create:
 “One form fits all” concept
 Manageable Problem List, Medication List, Family History
 Readable notes
 AHLTA down-time solution
 CPG compliance
 Coding guidelines

Usability AIM Form
 Alternative to the TSWF
 “One form fits all” concept
 Presents data in easy to select format
 Includes care guidelines
 Does not include team documentation concept
 Not Tri-Service approved content
 No longer updated
20
Usability AIM Form
Usability AIM form: “One template fits all”
Do not Default.
21
Usability AIM Form
Usability AIM Form: Presents data in
easy to select formats

Usability AIM Form
It even includes care guidelines
23
Generic Template
Generic template example. Based on Medcin
terms. Advantages vs Disadvantages.
24
Team Documentation
 Procedures, lists, med recon, questionnaires, etc
 Use a common template
 Make sure you take over note correctly
 Support staff can document all but the HPI
25
Take Over the Note
To assume ownership of the
support staff encounter note,
click the ‘Edit This Note…’
button.
“Add Additional S/O Note…..”
creates a duplicate note under
the support staff note.
26
Take Over the Note
The Provider can edit the support
staff’s note accordingly.
27
Take Over the Note
The Provider has taken ownership of the note and
the note output is not duplicated.
The support staff’s documentation goes to the
“Change History” portion of the note (next screen
shot)
28
Take Over the Note
Staff portion of the note goes to “CHANGE HISTORY” in small
font for audit purposes but is also retained within the provider’s
documentation.
Support staff and providers should work off the same template
when possible and practical so the provider can see during
documentation what has already been documented by the
corpsman.
