A shorthand is an abbreviation that can be typed into a free form text field and it will populate a pre-defined sentence or paragraph in its place.
HOW TO CREATE A SHORTHAND
Shorthands are customizable per user. You have the option to create pathology shorthands that can be used when entering pathology, or general shorthands that can be used within the progress note. To create a shorthand you will go to the Settings on the EHR > My Profile > Pathology Shorthands OR General Shorthands > then tap the + in the upper righthand corner to create a new shorthand.
Please reach out to techsupport@ezderm.com if you would like a base package of shorthands created by EZDERM uploaded into your account or if you would like shorthands transferred from an existing user to a new user. This transfer can only be done once per user and will override all existing shorthands.
HOW TO USE A SHORTHAND
To activate a shorthand in a note, enter the following keyboard strokes: "/<shorthand><ENTER>"
Please note that you do not type "" or <Enter>, simply type:
/shorthand
Press <ENTER>
*If preferred, you can still type the shorthand with no forward slash and pinch your fingers out to activate the shorthand.
