When a column heading is underlined, it implies either 1) that the button has a second, less obvious function which can be initiated by holding down the shift key when you click on the button or 2) you can sort the data by clicking on the underlined heading For example, the lab results layout has three of the headings underlined: the patient name, the test name, and the date of the test. The data can be sorted chronologically by clicking on the date, it can be sorted by patient name by clicking on the patient name heading, and it can be sorted by test name by clicking on the test name heading.

In the clinical summary layout, the name “Medicine list” is underlined. When you click on it, it will print the medicine list. Throughout ComChart, you will also see the patient’s name, underlined. When you click on it, you will be taken to the patient’s progress notes. If you hold down the shift key when you click on the patient name, you will be taken to a progress note layout that shows all the associated diagnosis.
