StarNotes Vs. StarForms
StarNotes
StarForms
• Templates easier to
create; no programming
skills required
• Easy to use with
reasonable typing skills
• Data is Formatted but not
Structure so less efficient
source of data for future
research
• Must be built by
programmer; take 10 x as
long to build as Notes
Template
• Easier to use for those
with minimal typing skills
• Most data in forms is both
Structured and Formatted
so better source of data
for research going
forward.
StarNotes
From the StarNotes page, click on
Tutorial hyperlink to open a short
tutorial on use of the tool. Good
refresher when you forget details.
When using StarNotes:
AVOID:
•
Re-Use & Copy/Paste WITHOUT follow-up editing. Failure to do careful editing can result in a note
that is useless as a communication tool and in the worst case, dangerous to patient safety.
DO:
•
Understand how your team uses the tool (which templates for various situations, how
Attestations done, etc.)
Remember that for notes that need
Attestation, make sure you know how
your supervising Physician wants to
review your notes. You will be prompted
to send to them when saving as final.
