I have my patients complete a history form before the first office visit. Could this be scanned in or must I keep a separate paper chart? I have my patients complete a history form before the first office visit. Could this be scanned in or must I keep a separate paper chart?

ComChart can automatically add text to the problem list, medicine list and allergy list, so that you do not need to re-type the information. When you are on the progress notes, highlight the desired text and click the "+" button located to the right of the "problem list," "medicine list" or "allergy list" buttons. This will put the highlighted information into the respective list.

You could scan it and then paste it into one of the "graphics" progress notes. However, you will probably find the scanning process time consuming and it will markedly increase the size of your files. Thus, we do not advise that you scan-in all of your documents. We recommend that you modify the "ROS" options in the "List" file (ComChart > Administration > Review of Systems) so that it closely mimics your history form. Once this is done, the “comprehensive history ” form within ComChart will closely mimic your paper form and the data could easily be entered into ComChart by a nurse, NP or PA.

If you need a copy of the history form which is the basis of ComChart's ROS, email a request by This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

The adding of text to re-usable data is a great feature. Really helps to distill the important features of a block of text. Love it! Thanks for the many, many useful features.
