The Exam can be pre-set with default values to speed up the recording process of the patient exam. Providers can choose from custom created default templates values, which when selected, will automatically set the exam values to the values defined in the template.
The Exam templates are created in the Filopto System Setting, EMR section which can accommodate an unlimited number of templates. Typically, templates will be given a descriptive name as to facilitate its selection.
When a exam record is first created (open) the exam screen permits the Provider to select the default exam template he/she wishes to use.
IMPORTANT:
Once a default value template is applied to the exam record, the default values defined for the template will be applied under the following conditions:
1) If the user selected to load previous patient exam values, those values will override any of the templates default values.
2) If a user entered some values prior to (re-loading) a template, the values entered prior to re-loading the template will not be replaced with the re-loaded template values.

When you first open an EMR record, located at the top of the screen will be Defaults drop down field and a check mark button. The Provider can select from the drop down field the default values he/she wishes to use by selecting the default value template. To apply the selected template default value, the Provider must click on the Check Mark button located to the right of the Defaults field. This action will copy the default values for the selected template to the patient EMR record.
IMPORTANT:
As soon as a value has been entered into the patient EMR record the Default value field will disappear from the screen and no longer be available for that exam record.
